What the Critics say | ||
| 24.com Ilan Preskovsky  The great problem with Teen Spirit, the directorial début from actor Max Minghella, is that there’s little in it that you can’t get from watching a single episode of one of the many talent-competition shows out there. | 5 |  |
| RSG Leon van Nierop Ek wil TEEN SPIRIT graag aanbeveel, want dit is ‘n rolprent met oortuigende, volronde karakters wat ontwikkel. Dis nie net ‘n sokkiejol met mooi poppies en kwaadkatte nie. | 14 |  |

| Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer Teen Spirit tells a story we know by heart, but writer-director Max Minghella’s connection to the material and Elle Fanning’s remarkable performance add an effective hook. | 15 | |

| CommonSenseMedia Sandie Angulo Chen Touching but slow drama about aspiring singer has drinking. | 10 |  |
| ScreenIt Jim Judy So, in the end, Teen Spirit comes off like a green entrant who has a decent audition and gets encouragement from the judges to keep growing, but it doesn’t stand out enough to be advanced through to the next round. | 10 | |
