Lisa Mullen Sight & Sound Jul 6, 2018
At its best this film is brave, cool and brimful of ideas, and if they're barely contained within the slightly flimsy story, that's down to Campos' decision to give himself the safety net of a well-worn genre. Go to Full Review
Andrew O'Hehir Salon.com Oct 9, 2009

Ron R Oct 5, 2018 Antonio Campos' debut feature is an artsy, provocative film about teenagers in the 21st century.
Abraham L Nov 29, 2017 Antonio Campos debut is a risky and original great work
Leia R Feb 10, 2016 A troubling look at school-age youth, the style alone is what makes "Afterschool" so discomforting.
