Leave your thoughts about Fat Girl.
| PopMattersLucas HilderbrandThe sex in Fat Girl is ... an all-consuming, character-defining process of sorting through emotions and attitudes that convincingly perplexes these girls. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumWith the pitiless, devastating Fat Girl, Catherine Breillat puts men and women, boys and girls on notice: When fantasy, hypocrisy, and manipulation mix in a wet, sandy place, you dive into sex at your own risk. |
| Seattle TimesMelanie McFarlandGet over the numb shock that accompanies the end credits, give yourself some distance from it and you may actually appreciate the complex machinations behind Breillat's brave, troubled work. |
| Matt's Movie ReviewsMatt EasterbrookWhile I was able to appreciate what Breillat was trying to say regarding sisterhood, adolescence, and sexuality, FAT GIRL was a pain in the butt to sit through. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyLike Breillat's debut feature ("A Real Young Girl") "Fat Girl" is a masterpiece awaiting inspection by audiences open to its meanings and insightful commentary. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeOne of the most disturbing films I've ever seen. |

| Reeling ReviewsLaura Clifford"Fat Girl" is no pleasure to watch, yet haunts in retrospect. |
| VarietyDavid StrattonDespite the disappointing conclusion, it's hard not to be affected by the film, because of the director's frank approach to her subject and the sheer skill with which she tells her story. |
