Tomboy Ratings & Reviews
Film Comment Magazine
Chris Chang
Since we are dealing with fresh-faced tweens, we are spared the gender histrionics to be found in the likes of The Crying Game or Boys Don't Cry. Those are indeed bigger films. But sometimes small things can pay off quite nicely.
The New Republic
Stanley Kauffmann
Tomboy is a lovely reminder that the French have long been famous for a quite different sort of film-about children.
The Atlantic
Jon Frosch
Brisk, precisely observed, and bracingly non-preachy in its examination of a very tricky subject.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
Writer and director Celine Sciamma adorns the thorny dilemma with resonant allusions to gender roles...
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Modestly conceived and executed.
HollywoodChicago.com
Brian Tallerico
The film's greatest accomplishment is writer/director Celine Sciamma's stunning ability to draw natural, believable performances from her adolescent cast, who never hit a false note in this moving film.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
"Tomboy" is tender and affectionate.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
"Tomboy," a brief and sweetly refreshing French film, is the story of a lie.
Washington Post
John DeFore
Sciamma pictures the story in dappled sunlight and wooded fields that, though not far from dull apartment blocks, have an out-of-time seductiveness.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Tomboy captures a delicate moment in time before issues of sexuality so much more complicated and calculated.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
Open-minded and open-ended, Tomboy is a portrait of pubescence on the brink of chrysalis.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
There are nevertheless some marvelous moments.
The Hollywood Reporter
Jordan Mintzer
Coming-of-age tale tackles gender confusion with humor and heart.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
"Tomboy'' is as visually beautiful as its 10-year-old heroine is defiantly plain.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
Quiet and naturalistic in the best way, the French film "Tomboy" rolls out a tale of malleable pre-adolescent identity with a marked absence of sensationalism.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Sciamma has wound back the clock to childhood to show us, with taste and sensitivity, something we have not seen.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
Its young heroine is proud to be herself; there's just not much for her to do beyond that.
NPR
Scott Tobias
There's an absolute naturalism to all the performances here. That's crucial, especially from Heran, who's playing a character who does not yet know herself.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
A beautiful, matter-of-fact French drama about a young girl who wants to be a boy - and for one singular summer around her 10th birthday passes as one...
AV Club
Noel Murray
Two feature films into her career, writer-director Cline Sciamma has proven unusually skilled at making short, plot-light movies about budding adolescents discovering themselves.
