Critics Consensus

Casting grim environs in a nostalgic glow, We Grown Now is a coming-of-age story whose tinges of fantasy only make it feel more honest.

Roxana Hadadi New York Magazine/Vulture We Grown Now also houses James’s and Ramirez’s sensitive, compassionate, and fearless performances, and the pair’s efforts are precious. Sep 17, 2024 Full Review 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 Ernesto Diezmartinez Letras Libres In We Grown Now, the transition from childhood to adolescence of two friends is marked by a murder that shakes Chicago in the 90s. A sensitive children's melodrama. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 22, 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.

Marcus M Best movie of the year for me. Simple yet incredibly effective. I cried so hard. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/06/24 Full Review M.B.W The movie was poetic and well written. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/05/24 Full Review Molly Easy to relate to. A positive movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/04/24 Full Review JOCELYN P C Excellent acting and storyline. 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

Synopsis In 1992 Chicago, as Michael Jordan solidifies himself as a champion, a story of two young legends in their own right begins. As wide-eyed and imaginative best friends Malik and Eric traverse the city, looking to escape the mundaneness of school and the hardships of growing up in public housing, their unbreakable bond is challenged when tragedy shakes their community just as they are learning to fly.
