“Like Tokyo Drift, Better Luck Tomorrow is a contemporary juvie crime film. But where Tokyo Drift is just as narratively compromised and pseudo-campy as the 50s drive-in movies that kick-started the juvie crime tradition (which is fine, but hardly inspired), Better Luck Tomorrow approaches both parts of the equation with equal sincerity, guided by exactly defined character dynamics that excitingly criss-cross from a juvie focus to a crime one and then back again.” – Jake Mulligan, Dig Boston
