Critic Reviews

Slums of Beverly Hills has the kind of big heart, strong voice, vivid look, and original sense of humor many young artists -- particularly young female artists -- don't find until they're riper, and some never find at all.Full Review

Lisa Schwarzbaum
Entertainment Weekly

Beneath the sitcom-like surface of Slums lies a realistic coming-of-age story, perfectly cast and effectively acted with just a hint of tragedy.Full Review

Joshua klein
The Onion (A.V. Club)

Like its Southern California setting, the sunny semi-autobiography is tempered with just the right touch of Jenkins's smoggy cynicism.Full Review

Michael O'Sullivan
Washington Post

They've created far and away the most complex, appealing female character in a summer of soldiers, sword fighters and asteroid blasters.Full Review

Mary Elizabeth Williams

Writing and directing her first feature, Jenkins mines her life for nug gets everyone can relate to.Full Review
