Tim Grierson Screen International Feb 26, 2018
"Newness" skillfully portrays modern courtship in all its buzzy, fleeting electricity, which helps mitigate the fact that filmmaker Drake Doremus is merely adding a fresh coat of paint to an old romantic dilemma. Go to Full Review
John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter Feb 2, 2017
As a sympathetic look at two likeable lovers who don't know what's good for them, it's enough to give us a rooting interest - even if we're rooting for the two protagonists to accept the consequences of their mistakes and move on. Go to Full Review

The central theme of "Newness" isn't as profound or even as novel as either the filmmakers or their millennial target audience may believe. But at it's best, "Newness" is about how nothing's really all that new. Go to Full Review

The movie can get a bit depressing, but it's still very hot. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
Perhaps Doremus' most succinctly tantalizing and compelling film to date, Newness does fit neatly, even predictably within his already well-established oeuvre. Go to Full Review

2/5
Sold as a modern-day investigation of relationships, Newness quickly becomes a far-cry for help. It is only saved by coincidence and an underdeveloped connection that holds the characters accounted towards one-another Go to Full Review

Draco L Feb 23, 2019 Gostei muito....tudo haver com essa geração atual de tinders e happens....
Abraham S Jan 10, 2019 Absolutely fantastic indie movie that puts you inside of an emotional trench and then on the craziest roller coaster of pain with a inkling of hope for the characters development For a lot of new age people, the events that occur in this film should inspire many to know the right path to choose when it comes to the facets of love and trust. Thank you. See more
Poe S Nov 14, 2018 Sludgy, unbelievable, boring, and cringy. And that's me sugar coating it.
Poe M Aug 30, 2018 Newness es tal ves lo mas Cercano a tener una relación con una quinciañera que esta empezando a explorar su cuerpo sexualmente, por mas que trates verle el lado bueno siempre te decepcionara con su tedioso y forzado ritmo lento que intenta ser profundo sin realmente llegar a hacer en sus momentos mas importantes, Su Cinematografia esta bien y su propuesta sonora es bastante buena, logras disfrutar estos componentes sin ningún problema , al igual que las actuaciones que son bastante buenas.

Jun 28, 2018 Newness isn't for everybody. Definitely not a first date rom-com! But, for anyone who has waded through the mire of online dating and spent any amount of time just trying to make a connection, this will hit home. These characters are scary relatable, both as aspects of myself and people I have met who are also stumbling through Tinder on Friday night. It's exciting, gritty and relatably cringy. It reinforced hard fought realizations and then slowly deconstructed them to show the original foundations again. Really superb acting and writing, very well executed. The weird voyeur camera angles were overdone a bit, but honestly it fits this movie. See more
