A coming-of-age "traumedy" that follows 16-year-old Lindy (Maddie Ziegler) who is unexpectedly diagnosed with a reproductive condition, MRKH syndrome.

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.

3/5

It’s not up there with the heights of the genre -- Clueless, The Craft and Ginger Snaps (name-checked in the film) can rest easy -- but represents a thematically rich addition to the canon.

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

4/5

This movie is a reminder that, indeed, all bodies are good bodies, and allowing people to find their own path for their bodies is the best way forward. Whether they fit in or not.

4.5/5

The film and its characters mince absolutely no words and leave almost nothing to the imagination when it comes to portraying sexuality, pain, shame, confusion, and how all of them intersect.

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.

Maddie Zeigler is a revelation as she carries this movie with emotional maturity and a stand-out performance. Emily Hampshire is a treat as the over-wrought, but loving mother, with a performance that will make you forget she was the girl behind the counter of the motel in Schitt's Creek. The movie tackles a topic that is difficult, and turns it into a tour de force in dealing with the anxious teenage challenge of fitting in when there is something different about you. Tasteful, humorous, sensitively written and directed. A secret gem which should be less of a secret.
