WHO ARE WE?

Teen Critics NYC was created by teenagers in New York City to provide an outlet for sharing recommendations of movies, albums, TV shows, and books!

This page is run by teens, for teens! Anyone can write a review and submit it to be published on our page. Most film reviews come from an adult perspective--but we want to hear directly from people our age about what we like (or hate) and why.
