Through Wang's astute direction, some moving performances, and well-rounded vision, it is just as provocative as it needs to be, while making for a very entertaining watch. Read full review

Screen RantGrant HermannsMar 12, 2026
Infused with a sharp exploration of the immigrant experience in America and a smattering of such high school tropes as mean-girl cliques and prom queen competitions, the movie is a wonderfully bonkers ride. Read full review

Regrettably botched, despite its bold concept at its core, “Slanted” is too simple to make a statement. Read full review
