Critics Consensus

Led by a Maddie Ziegler performance that's as funny as it is fearless, Fitting In takes a boldly provocative look at the assumptions and expectations surrounding modern femininity.

Was funny, had emotion, flowed like a real life story. Kept my attention. Great overall castings and acting. Will definitely be seeing it again!

Moving story of a young girl coming off age in a way not like others. Maybe it's better to have emotional growth before physical maturity.

Molly McGlynn's semi-autobiographical narrative feature tries really hard, but misses the mark on multiple levels. First there are two major health issues and one is focused and the other glossed over and it just didn't work for me. McGlynn's disdain for most of those surrounding her isn't unusual for a high school student, but casting someone of legal drinking age to play 17 took me out of the film. Also the haphazard nature of how athletics is brought in. Yes, you can go from never running to a college scholarship, but not quite the way it's described here. Big ole swing and a miss! Wasted chance and such a shame! Final Score: 5/10

Powerful, riveting, and frightening. A polarizing masterpiece of a film.

I haven't seen this yet as I live in the UK but I'm giving it 5 stars as I have MRKH which the movie is about so I want to support the community I can't wait to see it.

Fitting In is explicitly a celebration of our different bodies and the disconnect of certain biological markers from gender.

New York Times

Its revelations about gender, sexuality and identity tend toward the obvious, and sometimes veer into the facile.

Culture Mix

The narrative of Fitting In occasionally wanders, but this comedy/drama has convincing performances in this coming-of-age story of a 16-year-old girl with a rare gynecological condition. It's a unique movie with familiar views of teenage life.

... taps into female adolescence while promoting compassion and acceptance, although its conventional approach inhibits a deeper and more specific emotional impact.
