Peter Bradshaw Guardian [Little Trouble Girls], with its superb musical score and sound design, reinvents the cliched idea of a Catholic girl’s sexual awakening. It’s also proof, if proof were needed, that no teacher in the world can be as cruel and abusive as a music teacher. Rated: 5/5 Aug 18, 2025 Full Review Wendy Ide Screen International Djukic’s coming of age drama is heady with intertwined sensual and religious symbolism; the first rate score and sound design teases out the tangled, conflicting impulses towards Catholic devotion and erotic abandon. Feb 15, 2025 Full Review Guy Lodge Variety This is a striking statement of intent from its Slovenian writer-director -- there’s an airy delicacy here that invites comparisons to early Céline Sciamma, but with its own raw, restless edge. Feb 15, 2025 Full Review Eleanor Capaldi The Skinny Lingering moments are paired with floral motifs, one of many uses of poetic symbolism that punctuate the narrative... Against a local order of sin, penance and celibacy, Lucia's intuitive pursuits with Ana-Maria stand in freeing, forbidden contrast. Rated: 4/5 Aug 15, 2025 Full Review Simon Foster Screen-Space Debutant director Urška Djukić has crafted a lyrical, taut, empathetic portrait of a young woman grappling with sacramental, social and hormonal turmoil. Rated: 4/5 Jun 14, 2025 Full Review Nicolás Medina Montevideo Portal / Latido Beat Its director demonstrates that what is truly provocative is not the scandal, but the way in which, even in the most controlled spaces, desire always finds a way to make its way.
