[1] The film received mixed reviews from critics upon release.

"[2] NOW Magazine wrote a negative review: "A certain sensitivity and intelligence are required to deal with rape on film.

Fondi '91 exhibits little of either, which is why it ends up being shocking, exploitative and profoundly infuriating."

In a mixed review, Toronto Film Scene wrote: "What starts out as a coming of age story from the point of view of four high school boys, each with their own varying levels of testosterone fueled sexual desire, quickly breaks down into a confused story of sexual assault, misguided guilt, and incredibly awkward and unbelievable sexual encounters.

It’s a bit of a shame as well, since the first thirty minutes of Fondi ’91 is actually a lot of fun.
