Tomris Laffly Variety Baig has a textured, refreshingly unfussy way of perceiving coming-of-age stories, favoring intimate moments over explosive ones, with an assured handle on a sense of time and place. May 20, 2024 Full Review Christy Lemire FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) It's dreamlike but always rooted in a recognizable reality. May 8, 2024 Full Review Aparita Bhandari Globe and Mail The two young actors are fantastic. The film truly lies on their delicate shoulders. And they soar to the challenge, mouthing lines that feel out of place – no matter how precocious these kids may be. May 8, 2024 Full Review Filipe Freitas Always Good Movies Baig shoots each scene with ardent attention, projecting a strange mix of innocence and awareness. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 28, 2024 Full Review James Verniere Boston Movie News Writer-director Minhal Baig has created a realistic coming-of-age tale set in 1992 in the Cabrini-Green housing projects that is also a poignant farewell to childhood. Rated: A- Jul 5, 2024 Full Review Ray Pride Newcity Heartfelt and sometimes crushing, <i>We Grown Now</i> is major work from a major filmmaker. Her Chicago—our Chicago—is a magical place, and also harsh, hard, hopeful. Rated: 9/10 Jul 4, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/03/24 Full Review Mel S Loved the storyline and the characters. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/30/24 Full Review Sherry They should have put this on television. I still would not have watched it. This movie was so boring and I am unsure what message the writers were trying to relay. I dont see where the we grown now even comes into play. Everyone in the theater, which was only a handful of people, kept waiting and commenting on when something was going to happen. It never did. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/28/24 Full Review Read all reviews
