Movie Reviews
“‘Metal Lords’ betrays rather than upholds the values of the very kids it wants to revere (…) Rating: ? (out of 4)” Derek Smith: Slant
“It’s not laugh-out-loud funny, but I was smiling for the duration, and its subversions of certain archetypes (…) kept things marginally fresh. Good and bad, it met expectations.” Jared Mobarak: The Film Stage
“A likable but low-wattage story (…) [It] aims for Heavy but is surprisingly Lite in its take on teenage mental illness, classroom violence and bullying.” John DeFore: The Hollywood Reporter
Release Date
April 8, 2022.
