Entertainment Reviews:
[I]t has an aching, dreamlike pull, constructing a panoramic view of history through the prism of collective and personal memory.
Los Angeles Times
Rating: B+ --
Director Matt Wolf uses startling archival footage to capture the rise of pre-Elvis youth culture as the defining surge of the 20th century.

Entertainment Weekly
The documentary's enjoyable to watch, and refreshingly not tongue-in-cheek. There's a toughness at its core that gives it great value.

Rating: 3/4 --
Wolf's sympathy for youth movements compensates for the distraction of the new scenes, and the fascinating old footage seals the deal.

San Francisco Chronicle
Rating: 1.5/4 --
There's no "there" there in "Teenage," a meandering mess of a documentary that has the feel of a bloated, inchoate term paper.
Seattle Times
Rating: 7/1 --
Teenage casts an intoxicating spell, but in the haze of war and underground dance parties, it doesn't have the time to help us understand what the hell it all means.

Way Too Indie
Rating: 2.5/4 --
Deftly weaves together various media in a way that breathes its own youthful, stream-of-conscious life into the documentary genre.

Product Description:
Filmmaker Matt Wolf teams with producer Jason Schwartzman to adapt Jon Savage's 2007 bestseller, which explores how concept of "teenagers" didn't come into being until the early 20th century, forever altering our concept of aging and development by linking the gap between childhood and adulthood. From the early emergence of youth culture in the form of frivolous flappers and Swing Kids to the more ominous Hitler Youth during World War II, Wolf's film examines how adolescents became a crucial factor in shaping popular culture during a century when society seemed to be evolving faster than it had at any previous point in human history.
