The romance between two teenage girls (Juno Temple, Riley Keough) quickly manifests as terrifying, violent and inexplicable.

This is a movie about love and how incomprehensible and engulfing it can be before you learn to tame the monster.

"The Man With the Iron Fists" being a fairly satisfying slab of cinematic mayhem, particularly if seen in under conditions like the ones I describe from my younger days.

Tonally, the film swings between whispery romance and ominous horror as it explores the dark side of love and lust ...

There's a wise (and frightening) movie about young love in Jack and Diane, but Bradley Rust Gray didn't make it.

Jack and Diane is the worst kind of coming-of-age film; the kind that lacks any particular message or purpose and tries to merely rely on shock value to retain audience attention.

2.5/5

Good direction is hobbled by inexplicable flashes of horror, which add nothing to the story and stick out like clumsy art-movie affectations.

I like juno & Riley, so I watched it. Terrible. Love story is awful, & i still don't know who or what the werewolf was. Just so bad.

Lacks the emotion that is possibly intended and makes little sense without inference and metaphors in play.

I can't tell if it is because my lesbian movie standards are low or because the whole cast is hot, but I loved this movie.

What a mess. This director and script are the worst I have ever seen. Why was this trash made?

This is one of those Movies that has some decent Actors in it but you really wonder how or why it was even made. Nothing flows or makes sense as to why things are happening and the whole werewolf sub story that goes no where and seems to just be imaginary doesn't add anything. I only watched it to see Juno Temple and Riley Keough. But really its a waste of time.
