Leave your thoughts about Girl Picture.
| Paste MagazineShayna Maci WarnerA joyous, resonant snapshot of growing into one’s own, and challenging even your own expectations of who you thought you could be. |
| RogerEbert.comKatie RifeWhile Girl Picture isn’t necessarily breaking any new ground, this sensitively rendered dramedy invites viewers into the world of three young Finnish women on the cusp of adulthood with an affection and mellow sense of humor that makes it a more than agreeable cinematic companion. |
| The PlaylistLena WilsonEven when this film is a bit too neat, it’s still totally irresistible. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleGirl Picture is designed to feel as closely observed as a diary, but it’s also like being pulled along by a friend eager for you to experience what they go through, see things the way they do, to just get it and have a great time too. That’s a special kind of invitation, and Girl Picture is more than enough movie to make its compassion for the lives of teenage girls a swirling, swooning high. |
| Screen RantPatrice WitherspoonIt’s unapologetic with showcasing the intricacies of girlhood, and it’s a joy to experience and witness sexuality, queerness, and female friendship in its honest totality — free of judgement and restraint. |
| The GuardianPeter BradshawThis is such a vivid, lovable triple-decker performance from Milonoff, Kauhanen and Leino. |
| The Observer (UK)Wendy IdeThere are moments – Mimmi biting back her emotions as Emma dances for her alone at night – that tingle with discovery and promise. |
| Original-CinLiam LaceyDirected by Alli Haapasalo and written by Ilona Ahti and Daniel Hakulinen, it is an empathetic, almost sociological portrait that could be shown in health class in a progressive high school. |
| The New York TimesAmy NicholsonHaapasalo blesses her trio with a pop soundtrack that crescendos at the peak of a kiss, and climactic crises that are a mite too readily resolved, adamantly gracing this awkward stage of girlhood with forgiveness — not hectoring lessons. |
