Reaction: The box office has been going pretty well so far in Season 19, but there are always going to be a handful (or more) films that won't perform well. Looking at the numbers, this one could not find an audience overseas and didn't gross enough domestically to overcome that deficit.
"Hillside may have some interesting thematic elements, but it doesn't feel like the filmmakers have provided enough of a plot to explore it all." - Paul Landon, Film School Rejects
"The story itself isn't anything to write home about, but Barry Jenkins' latest film is anchored by two strong performances from the always reliable Ben Foster and the young Alex Hibbert." - Audrey Columbus, Collider
"Hillside is somehow feels like both a timely film and a film that feels a bit dated at times. It's an emotionally compelling film for most of its running time, even if it takes a long time to get going." - Dennis Smith - Orlando Sentinel
Rated R for language, thematic material and violence
