Emanuel Levy Variety 06/29/2006
4/5
Though the main charcater is lesbian, Sichel's gritty youth melodrama is so rich in ideas amd so roght in its texture that it goes beyond a coming-out ot even a lesbian-themed story. Go to Full Review
Manohla Dargis L.A. Weekly 10/03/2002
Given great lyrical force by Folland, it comes closer to unlocking the secret lives of girls than any other recent American movie. Go to Full Review
Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times 02/14/2001
Sichel is just great with her cast. Go to Full Review
Mark J. Huisman The Advocate 06/07/2022
Despite some pacing problems, Sichel draws first-rate performances from her cast. Credit must also go to screenwriter Sylvia Sichel, Alex's sister, for creating such interesting characters. Go to Full Review
Michael Atkinson Spin 04/18/2022
Scrupulously realistic and acutely observed. Go to Full Review
Jas Keimig The Stranger (Seattle, WA) 12/09/2021
The movie documents the nuances in girl friendship at a fragile age that sometimes revels in syrupy, afterschool special type drama. But it's a gay, riot grrrl-light teen flick. Go to Full Review

Steve D 09/19/2023 Not enough riot girl far too much stilted dialog. See more 11/18/2012 This could have been one of those horrible boring indie films where youths are horrible to each other and die in stupid ways a la Ken Park. If it were not for the fact this film is actually good. The characters' arcs are emotionally verisimilitudinous, their actions feel true, and the stakes feel real. The film somehow simultaneously lulled me into a false sense of security while keeping me on edge throughout, keeping me interested until the last frame. See more 10/29/2012 A coming of age story focusing on friendship. Story is interesting, but nothing special, good performances from the young cast and an appearance by Leisha Hailey. See more 06/17/2012 I don't regret having watched this movie for a second See more 05/17/2012 Not the best lesbian movie I've seen but by far not the worst!! You can only try so hard and so much till you have no choice but to move on!! See more 04/29/2012 this had felt like "indie-painful" in the first ten minutes of its opening but ok, good that i gave it a fair chance cos it wasn't so bad. quite a sincere effort actually and though not one of those must -sees I'd go round recommending mates, it did 'growing up pains' rather well.
