| MovielineAlison WillmoreThe way salty-sweet comedy Turn Me On, Dammit! treats the hormone-addled turmoil of its 15-year-old heroine Alma feels something close to revolutionary. I don't want to overburden this mild-mannered 76-minute Norwegian debut, but it's true. |

| Toronto StarLinda Barnard[It] never lags, from the first shocking scene to a sweetly amusing John Hughes-inspired finale. |
