Green's film reveals a certain sensitivity to human beings. If the dialogue, particularly at its most oblique and would-be poetical, occasionally strains and even makes one wince, a genuine sympathy for people is always operating here.

Green wants to imbue his story with more significance than it can bear... Then again, you have to be pretty harsh to dwell on the whiff of pretension in an ambitious young filmmaker with as much natural talent as Green.

A poetic, powerful work.

All the Real Girls packs plenty of emotional punches; thanks to its cast, those punches feel as genuine as the ones we've all taken to the gut -- and the heart.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 6, 2006

All Gordon Green can manage are...dreamy images, blunt-edged characters and dialogue, splattered like so-much Cheese Whiz over a shapeless mess of a pseudo-poetic narrative.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 18, 2006

Love can be a good thing. It can just as easily be horrible. David Gordon Green's poetic All the Real Girls captures both senses of love - and beautifully to boot.

Captures the almost narcotic sensation of new love...

Zooey Deschanel, in her first starring role, barely saves this film from the murky bogs of independent dreck.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 14, 2003

"All the Real Girls" captures young love as well as any movie ever has.

Full Review | Original Score: A | Sep 18, 2003

Its sensibility is almost anachronistic; I'm not sure there's a cynical moment in its 108-minute running time.

| Original Score: B+ | Sep 14, 2003

There are several moments so sublime, so ineffably and serenely beautiful, that you might be convinced that this sort of relationship could only happen in a dream.

A lot of the dialogue is funny and dumb and sometimes insightful, but there are also moments when something rings so false it feels you're watching an artfully directed episode of Dawson's Creek.
