The Girl Ratings & Reviews
From the Front Row
Mattie Lucas
A stylistic triumph that ultimately doesn't add up to more than the sum of its parts, but remains a lyrical and evocative mood piece that manages to resonate even when you know it shouldn't.
The L Magazine
Violet Lucca
If nothing else, see The Girl to remember what a real cinematic visual sensibility can be. Bliss out, don't read the subtitles.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
A kind of quiet Scandinavian cousin (OK, twice removed) to Home Alone, in which patient viewers will find sporadic rewards.
Slant Magazine
Diego Semerene
In the film, girlhood is too premature a demand on a child who just wants to, well, play.
Moving Pictures Magazine
Annlee Ellingson
a devastating indictment of self-absorbed adults so concerned about themselves that they don't even notice the abandonment of a nine-year-old girl.
Film-Forward.com
Nora Lee Mandel
Beautifully plays out every girl's rebellious fantasy to do whatever she wants one summer. . .Combines realism with the magical perspective of the interior life of childhood.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Delivers a satisfying, sun-dappled fable about the kindness of strangers and the cruelty of peers.
Film Journal International
Eric Monder
Coming-of-age tale proves to be more arty than interesting.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
The Girl -- a beguiling creation -- bodes well for the future for the helmer and his waif-like star.
Village Voice
Ella Taylor
The pleasure lies in watching this observant, inventive child prepare to become a future artist before our eyes.
Spirituality & Practice
Mary Ann Brussat
A totally beguiling Swedish film about the coming-of-age of a 10-year-old girl during a summer when her parents and brother are gone.
