A comedy about Allie and Harper and their needlessly difficult journey to the beach.

[An] unpleasant, unfunny experience with nothing fresh or insightful to say.

With "Fort Tilden," writer-directors Sarah-Violet Bliss and Charles Rogers have created two women who are drawn so vividly and so viciously, they're hard to dismiss.

"Fort Tilden" is cringe-worthy but true. Maybe that's why it's so uncomfortable to watch.

Fort Tilden is all the hipster satire you can handle, and maybe more.

Rarely has a movie so humorously illustrated the meaning of "frenemy."

These characters aren't just unprepared for the beach, but for adult life, which makes for a complicated, surprisingly bittersweet comedy.

Fort Tilden's quite charming, though filmmakers Sarah-Violet Bliss and Charles Rogers never let their charmless subjects... gain too much of their audience's sympathy.

There's just enough sympathetic vibration in these two to keep us hooked on their bizarre, rambling quest.

Initially, you may want to skip Allie and Harper, but they get steadily more interesting as their frazzled road trip inches them ever closer to the beach.

Tucked in among the longueurs are moments of savage satirical virtuosity that pinion the zeitgeist.

A movie that turns a trip to the beach into a cruel metaphor about maturity without losing its sense of humor. [Full review in Spanish]
