Mari Brighe Autostraddle Boy Meets Girl certainly isn't perfect, but it would do the film a tremendous disservice to focus on the missteps when there are so many things to love about this movie. Aug 12, 2021 Full Review Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times The profoundly sensitive, often wryly funny look at friendship, romance, sexual attraction and gender identity carries themes and dynamics that feel as timeless as they do up-to-the-minute. Feb 26, 2015 Full Review Stephanie Merry Washington Post Often, it feels conspicuously educational. Rated: 2/4 Feb 12, 2015 Full Review Brian T. Carney Washington Blade Both robust and delicate. It easily captures the natural rhythms of contemporary speech... while it raises intimate issues with great clarity and sensitivity. May 18, 2022 Full Review David Lamble Bay Area Reporter Michelle Hendley offers a brave interpretation of the complex motives... Jun 18, 2020 Full Review Bryan Loy Film Inquiry Indeed, it's extremely rare to see a transgender romcom at all. But it's even more rare to see one as refreshingly honest, bitingly funny, and ultimately touching as Boy Meets Girl. May 22, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Calamity A Loved it. Transgender Rom-Com that had me laughing, crying, and feeling so many mixed emotions. Quickly became one of my favorites of all time. I would highly recommend watching this movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review john l Loved it. First time i have seen a transgender romcom! Michelle Hendley is absolutely wonderful. I found it charming, sentimental, witty. For me, well worth the watch. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member While not perfect at all, it's a touching and well-handled film about love overall. An honest and complex rom-com drama and albeit simple look through the lens of young trans-woman "Ricky's" search for love and to be loved amongst other struggles. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member A sweet romantic comedy, refreshing and pretty original. Great characterization. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review richard r The one part that could have added a bit more to it was the attraction/love that David had for Ricky. He said, "we did everything you can do." It was almost like he felt love for Ricky but societal norms made him act like a jerk, expected, especially in small town America. Ricky and Robby were awesome, especially when they realize they have loved each other in silence beautiful for years. Recommend for the whole family to watch, it can teach so much. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member My favorite movie. Truly inspiring. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
