Reception
Quiet Earth wrote "the acting was top notch", and praised the performance of Josh Peck. They wrote the film had fantastic "beginning feeling and production style", and spoke well of the film's theme and storyline. A flaw was found in the film's depiction of Christians in a "gay-themed feel good film which started off with great potential, then quickly deteriorated into infantile and derivative crap."[2] 'Seattle Gay News praised the film, writing "I love that this Queer love story is told through the eyes of Madeline. It's an unusual way into a Queer story and one that provides interesting insights from a fresh perspective. American Primitive is a nicely turned out little film that I highly recommend".[3]
