Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: The movie feels like the gentle first chapter in Leo's story; life and love stretch out ahead of him, like a deliciously winding road. Read more
Jay Weissberg, Variety: Everyone will root for the two teen protags in Daniel Ribeiro's sweet gay coming-of-age debut, The Way He Looks, since the boys are so likable and their route to first love has an undeniably touching quality. Read more
Randy Cordova, Arizona Republic: A warm, smart and thoroughly delightful coming-of-age story. Read more
Peter Keough, Boston Globe: Ribeiro lacks a sense of dramatic construction, with the narrative stumbling about thoughtlessly, retracing the same ground over and over. Read more
Ben Sachs, Chicago Reader: Brazilian writer-director Daniel Ribeiro displays an assured sense of tone in this debut feature, sustaining an air of fragile beauty but never once slipping into preciousness. Read more
Boyd van Hoeij, Hollywood Reporter: The sweet and beautifully observed feature debut of Brazilian writer-director Daniel Ribeiro. Read more

Randy Myers, San Jose Mercury News: Ribeiro poignantly reminds us of unexpected first loves and the triumphs of being attracted to someone who truly cares about and understands you. Read more
Andy Webster, New York Times: The pleasures of understatement abound in the assured drama "The Way He Looks," a quiet, closely observed high school romance set in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Read more
Tirdad Derakhshani, Philadelphia Inquirer: The Way He Looks almost collapses at several points into a saccharine mess, but Ribeiro manages to keep the dramatic tension alive. Read more
Inkoo Kang, TheWrap: "Admirable throughout is the balance that Ribeiro strikes between dewy eroticism and the contextualization of sexuality as just a single aspect of one's identity, albeit an essential one." Read more
Dave Calhoun, Time Out: This portrait of love and friendship among middle-class teens in Sao Paulo is sweet and sensitive, even if it has little especially new to say. Read more
Violet Lucca, Village Voice: The film's happy ending is ... worthy of a teenage sneer. Read more
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post: Ribeiro has an uncanny eye for the telling emotional gesture, and "The Way He Looks" is full of them. Read more
