Critics Consensus

Impressive work from Bella Thorne in the title role notwithstanding, Girl struggles to differentiate itself from other female-fronted revenge thrillers.

Little White Lies

Thorne's capable of more than this, even if the question of how much more remains unresolved.

Rated: 2/5

Bloody Disgusting

Though it ultimately amounts to a routine revenge thriller, Faust coaxes impressive acting from his leads and demonstrates skillful promise for future efforts.

Rated: 2.5/5

RogerEbert.com

A wobbly and desperately unimaginative mesh-up of contemporary noir and a Southern-fried tale of ancestral trouble.

Rated: 1.5/4

[Girl is] an unfortunately haphazard work that attempts to shape itself according to Thorne's presence

Bella Thorne delivers a performance full of grit, unvarnished emotion, and commanding physical presence.

The gritty female fronted thriller is a fun trend that blew me away in films like Blood on Her Name.... But, done wrong, it can feel like a shallow female centric film that can't avoid a male focused narrative. That's what happened in Girl.

Rated: 3/10

It’s a pretty enjoyable revenge story, with interesting characters, and it really stuck the landing!

It is utter rubbish. It had the potential to be fairly good but the screenwriter took too many mind bending drugs and lost his way.

Una historia rota con personajes rotos en un entorno roto. A medida que avanzaba me fue gustando cada vez menos, podría haber sido mejor pero se deja ver.

What am I missing? After finding the person she was going to murder dead, she should have just left town and the sheriff would have no reason to go after her. It's either she's after revenge for the murder of the man she was going to murder or the sheriff is an stupid criminal who goes after someone who had no idea he was involved. Either way it's stupid as hell. I always say when creating characters the first thing is to make them people first. She's not a three dimensional person, she doesn't even have a fucking name, just a generic pronoun GIRL. I've seen more color from a Christopher Nolan Batman movie. There's more dark clouds and grey to make Robert Eggers orgasm. This is boring, this is dumb and gritty just to be gritty.
