      Peter Sobczynski RogerEbert.com An occasionally strange, occasionally brutal and occasionally lovely work that goes up on the shelf with "The Ocean of Helena Lee" and "Girlhood" as one of the more impressive coming-of-age tales of recent times. Rated: 3.5/4 Sep 25, 2015 Full Review Manohla Dargis New York Times Ms. Argento has a florid visual style, and she likes turning up the heat. Sep 24, 2015 Full Review Adam Nayman AV Club The ostensible boldness of Misunderstood is undermined by the sense that it's also pandering-that its view of childhood as a bourgeois horror-show is at least as salable on the art-house circuit as it is authentic to its creator's experiences. Rated: C+ Sep 24, 2015 Full Review Diego Batlle Otroscines.com Between the portrait of a dysfunctional family, the criticism of machismo, the lucid observations on school dynamics and sexual awakening, Misunderstood confirms Argento... as a director of enormous power and talent.
