Lindsey Bahr Entertainment Weekly Dec 3, 2014
B+
Despair is not quiet for a broken father (Aaron Paul) and his troublemaker sons in Kat Candler's brisk, transfixing drama, which takes place in blue-collar southeast Texas. Go to Full Review
Peter Keough Boston Globe Jul 24, 2014
2/4
"Hellion" pads its slender, commonplace, but potentially rewarding premise with contrivances, clichs, repetitiousness, and, when all else fails, implausible, arbitrary melodrama. Go to Full Review
Kerry Lengel Arizona Republic Jul 17, 2014
2/5
Not that inarticulate characters can't be compelling if they are written with subtlety, acted with insight and, most of all, framed by a directorial vision, but "Hellion," despite a promising debut from Wiggins, falls short in at least two of the above. Go to Full Review
MaryAnn Johanson Flick Filosopher Oct 10, 2020
Kat Candler's exploration of toxic male adolescence is handsome and haunting, with a star-making performance by young star Josh Wiggins... Go to Full Review
Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com Aug 30, 2019
2.5/5
While there's nothing innately wrong with Candler's careful exploration of a troubled youth discovering the necessity and wisdom of doing the right thing, despite a pair of laudable performances, the essence of the film feels stagnantly predestined. Go to Full Review
Bernard Boo Way Too Indie Mar 28, 2019
8/10
Wiggins is a superstar in his debut, capturing the volcanic nature of teens harboring too much energy for their undeveloped bodies to contain. He makes good decisions and reacts well to what he's given his more experienced adult counterparts. Go to Full Review
