Critics Consensus

Hick's talented young star is ill served by a film whose story wavers between discomfitingly inappropriate and simply muddled.

Hick is worth the effort -- and it does have some genuinely witty writing.

Time Out Chicago

And so it came to Chlo Grace Moretz, as it must to all child actors: puberty.

Rated: 1/5

Ambles back and forth between tomfoolery and strained seriousness.

Quickflix

Derek Martini's second feature - after the competent Lymelife - is a confused mess of awkward tonal shifts and boring narrative tangents all encased in the discomforting shell of a Lolita fantasy.

Rated: 1/5

Just a notch above dismal. Even with the star power

RedEye

Recognizes that kids can't expect the grass to be greener but comes too close to suggesting that you can expect others to mow your lawn.

Rated: 1.5/4

This is single-handedly the worst movie I have ever watched. i’m not even exaggerating. NO character development, the plot is below average and doesn’t even make much sense. The timeline is rushed. The characters have no depth and everyone seems to be discombobulated. I wish I could erase this horrid movie from my brain. Do not watch this movie if you value your time.

I thought the film was really well done. Sad but honest at the same time.

As usual the book was better than the movie. I feel like the movie had a wonderful cast and did a pretty good job with being true to the book but something about the movie is extremely lackluster and I felt like they could of done way better especially with the cast they had.

I love this film. One of the best "slice-of-life" views of young women in poverty whilst still being entertaining and compelling enough to keep non-arthouse lovers engaged. You follow a beautiful coming-of-age tale with genuine violence and danger, which is the reality for a lot of young women.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
