A pair of vapid twentysomethings quickly realize that they have absolutely no idea where they're going after two cute guys invite them to an afternoon at the beach.

Critics Consensus

Difficult to watch but ultimately all the more rewarding for it, Fort Tilden offers an intriguing calling card for writer-directors Sarah-Violet Bliss and Charles Rogers.

Fort Tilden is all the hipster satire you can handle, and maybe more.

2.5/4

Tucked in among the longueurs are moments of savage satirical virtuosity that pinion the zeitgeist.

3/4

A story with a distinctive New York sensibility, filled with all kinds of strange urban creatures who are variously self-involved, superficial, rude and/or downright nasty.

The snappy, ruthless screenplay works best when Allie and Harper fail at the most benign tasks but never betrays Bliss and Rogers' affinity for their love-to-hate-em characters.

A refreshing and dryly-hilarious glimpse into life at a certain time in a certain place, Fort Tilden brilliantly captures the “struggles” of two women who are uncertain of their roles in life.

4/5

What begins in the shallow end of the story pool ends in the deep end, showing empathy for characters who, themselves, have little of that virtue.

2 Self-absorbed shallow Williamsburg millennial chicks try to get to the beach at Fort Tilden to meet some dudes and suffer a series of misadventures mostly of their own narcissistic making. The millennials are horrible people, but they're still somehow watchable and amusing. And that is the satire; if you can stomach it, you might just like it. Were we that awful in our twenties? Maybe. Fort Tilden could be re-titled, BOY DO MILLENNIALS SUCK, and I'm not sure the creators would have a problem with that. It is, after all, the point. ;) B-.

I decided to sleep on my review of this film because I'm torn. It is indeed difficult to watch because the two leads are rather pathetic. At first I thought it was because they were meant to represent my generation but like the series "Girls", I just can't identify with girls who a) can run to mummy and daddy for money and b) not care about themselves or other people. Also, do people really take cheques in this day and age?

Very very true to the setting and time period. I live in this Brooklyn neighborhood and these girls are very real. A fun tragicomedy in which you dislike the protagonists but also sort of like them.
