3/4
It feels like an old-fashioned high-school flick about friendship, but one that has new ideas. It’s the rarest of skills, making something new out of something old. Go to Full Review
Chris Azzopardi New York Times 1d
The film’s endearingly scrappy creation has something worth saying: If the world won’t make a place for you, make one for yourself. Go to Full Review
Lovia Gyarkye The Hollywood Reporter 04/07/2025
Despite the hiccups, She’s the He is reliably delightful. Go to Full Review

She’s The He stamps its mark in an already saturated genre. Go to Full Review
John Stark Mac the Movie Guy 2d
76/100
She’s The He is goofy, but relevant, opting to push traditional teen comedy tropes into an ultimately LGBTQ positive film, embracing that sometimes you don’t know until you’ve walked a mile in someone else’s shoes, and sometimes those shoes have heels. Go to Full Review
Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru 3d
A intermittently funny, raunchy and timely dramedy that's tonally uneven, heavy-handed and over-the-top. Go to Full Review
