Daniela, a 17-year-old with a raging sexual drive, taps into an underground network of other horny teenagers through her sexually charged blog.

Nicolas Rapold

New York Times

The film's sexual intelligence is undone by a paralyzing voice-over and an encroaching case of the blahs.

Rated: 2/5

Time Out

The young actors' vacant-eyed brazenness may be true to life, but there's a whiff of exploitation, matched by the script's disinterest in exploring any friction that isn't skin on skin.

Rated: 2/5

B. Ruby Rich

Film Quarterly

Young and Wild is an impressive artistic achievement that etches a lineage back to Lucrecia Martel's The Holy Girl and Catherine Breillat's A Real Young Girl.

Erik Childress

eFilmCritic.com

A film that respects sex and the emotional consequences that follow once the heat wears off. It also is not a condemnation piece about religion even as it calmly exposes the hypocrisies of suppressing the natural order in order to let go of one's ego.

Rated: 3/4

As a card carrying atheist I don’t need a 96 minute long movie to teach me that religious fundamentalism is not my cup of tea. Plus the movie is structured like a blog and ultimately boring. I wonder if in Spain indeed is legal for the parents to prevent their daughter from graduating from high school as punishment for having sex. To be avoided.

Lembrou muito a Bruna Surfistinha, apesar de os objetivos serem adversos, assistir recentemente o "Jovem e Bela" que relata a mesma compulsão jovial por sexo das meninas, e percebo o quanto isso ainda é um grande amor, com quem você tava com que mulheres gostam de sexo tanto quanto com homens, rodeado de tabus, preconceitos, e retaliações, altamente prejudiciais as jovens… Belo e aloucado filme...

This film about a young woman exploring her sexuality and rebellion in a religious community is very timely in its treatment of blogs, it's also stylish and optimistic.
