what the others say
Time Out
"With its confidently sustained mood of adolescent unease and discovery, Electrick Children almost achieves something special."
Total Film
"Careful, kids - rock'n'roll can get you pregnant. Or that's what one Mormon teen believes in this cute lo-fi indie from first-timer Rebecca Thomas."
