Critics Consensus

Fourteen subtly establishes the bond between its main characters -- and the way longtime friendships can erode by a matter of nearly invisible degrees.

Matthew Monagle Austin Chronicle 06/05/2020
4/5
There's nothing in Fourteen that moviegoers have not seen before, but the empathetic performances by both Medel and Kuhling make this a journey worth taking. Go to Full Review
Melissa Anderson 4Columns 05/22/2020
The rare movie that intelligently and compassionately honors the push-pull dynamic between two young women, a pair of Brooklynites whose tight bond began when they were children but is starting to fray. Go to Full Review
Barry Hertz Globe and Mail 05/20/2020
3/4
The film's rhythm might sound jarring on paper, but Fourteen is more a work of structural playfulness and experimentation than gimmicky manipulation. Go to Full Review
Daniel Gorman In Review Online 06/05/2021
Sallitt's true gift is in capturing the rhythm of casual, unaffected conversation and how it can obliquely reveal character. Go to Full Review
Filipe Freitas Always Good Movies 03/30/2021
4/5
Sallitt finds the right narrative pulse for this slight tale, which develops with emotional insight and cerebral pragmatism. Go to Full Review
Dustin Chang Floating World 02/12/2021
With astonishingly economical edits, Sallitt let us witness the passage of time without missing a beat. With his extremely slim and straightforward filmmaking, Sallitt accomplishes something that is both deeply poignant and beautiful. Go to Full Review

Drew M. @Stonehands211 6d Such a quietly profound little movie. A movie hasn’t snuck up on me like this one has in a long while. See more greg r @itsgregsworld 03/17/2021 It's in the closing moments that this movie finally shines. It's not much of a gift to the audience, but after the long road to get there, you are happy for it. See more 01/27/2021 Wonderful film, a subtle portrayal of the dynamics of relationship shifts over a decade, a very realistic and enjoyable watch, most will definitely connect! See more dave d @RT34924333 01/14/2021 Soft spoken and understated, 'Fourteen', is also way too self aware and it becomes distracting. There's no doubt writer, editor and director, Dan Sallitt, is trying to tell us something. He has a character even say, "I'm more conversational now". There is also the mention of budgets and I just found it all too inside baseball for a film that seemed like it was a really bad "special" episode of a movie about nothing. This is a slice of life and very real, but as a stand alone 94 minute feature, no thanks. Another in the long line of shorts stretched and I do mean stretched to feature length with lots of scenery, but a story that isn't pushed forward. And despite it being a quiet indy, you have to be very in touch with every little detail which is supposed to draw you in, but instead frustrated me. Normally, I like these films, but Salitt is so unable to take a stand on mental illness, instead letting this slop sit there. It's a shame the filmmaker doesn't get it right, because the acting here, from an entirely unknown cast, is mostly outstanding. They aren't given much to work with, but they do a marvelous job. The final plot twist, which I could see from my porch, ties in the relationship between our two leads, Tallie Medel and Norma Kuhling. This duo need better agents. I want to see them again, perhaps even together. GET IT DONE! Long periods of time often go by from one scene to the next without explanation and I kinda liked it. It's something that grew on me, but it's also distracting. Your hand is definitely not held, but then we'll have two to three minutes of silence. The plot sits. Final Score: 4/10 See more 01/10/2021 A really slow walk in the park that will get you to talk about life and stuff. I loved it.
