Set in a mid-90's alternate reality, the Whitners are a strange family dealing with the aftermath of the death of their oldest son, Dylan. Mrs. Whitner is off on a thousand-mile trail trek and Mr. Whitner spends most of his time at work or in the bathroom, and twins, Myrcella and Wyrm, are basically being raised by their Uncle Chet. The twins also happen to be the last two in their grade to pass the Level One sexuality requirement: a school-mandated program enforced by electronic collars that detach when the wearer kisses someone. But when Myrcella makes out with the foreign exchange student, it leaves poor Wyrm as the lone kid waiting to pop his collar. And due to the rules of the No Child Left Alone program, he must pop it soon to move on to the next grade. Desperate and running out of time, Wyrm tries everything in his power to get that kiss, move on, and grow up.

Amid the overabundance of comedies about nerdy teenage guys who want to be more sexually experienced, Wyrm is memorable for its unique story and quirky characters. It's for people who are interested in low-budget, independent films about eccentrics.

9/10

Wyrm is a lot of things, but above all, it’s a great movie. The blending of comedy and sincerity through a gloriously awkward premise is completely compelling and rather unforgettable.

Wyrm mostly lands on its feet, offering a sincere, surreal take on coming-of-age, even if it stumbles slightly while heading toward the finish line, and marks a solid debut feature from director Winterbauer.

3.5/4

A deliberately cringe-y comedy that's also deeply empathetic, heartfelt and sweet--like "Eighth Grade" directed by Wes Anderson--and an indie gem worth seeking out.

3.5/4

A wonderful, really funny film about the intersection of puberty and grief; two moments in life no one has a roadmap through when first encountering them. It is original, sweet and worth every effort to discover.

2/5

Horny and mournful are an ambitious combination for a 97-minute comedy, and Christopher Winterbauer doesn't quite make it work.
