Andrew Parker The Gate A winning and emotionally balanced coming of age comedy, Imran J. Khan’s first feature Mustache is among the finest teen movies of the modern era, right alongside the works of Kelly Fremon Craig. Rated: 9/10 Nov 12, 2023 Full Review Peter Sobczynski The Spool [A] coming-of-age story that, while familiar enough in broad strokes, contains sufficient intriguing details and winning performances to be a definite crowd-pleaser. Mar 24, 2023 Full Review Mae Abdulbaki Screen Rant Khan infuses Mustache with tenderness splashed with a bit of awkwardness, which effectively encapsulates Ilyas’ coming-of-age journey. Rated: 3/5 Mar 22, 2023 Full Review Andy Crump The Playlist Unfailingly funny without losing the specificity needed to ground its cultural mores. Rated: C+ Mar 19, 2023 Full Review Erick Massoto Collider Mustache is a greatly enjoyable ride that, albeit too short, is able to make valid points about getting raised in the mid-90s, a time when most parents weren’t really concerned about their kids’ mental health — or their own, for that matter. Rated: B+ Mar 17, 2023 Full Review Tessa Smith Mama's Geeky A heartwarming and funny coming-of-age story that, despite having a few issues, is quite enjoyable. Atharva Verma delivers a relatable performance and makes this film something special. Rated: 3/5 Mar 13, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
