Girl Reviews
[Girl is] an unfortunately haphazard work that attempts to shape itself according to Thorne's presence
| Jan 25, 2022
Thorne's capable of more than this, even if the question of how much more remains unresolved.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 1, 2021
Bella Thorne delivers a performance full of grit, unvarnished emotion, and commanding physical presence.

The gritty female fronted thriller is a fun trend that blew me away in films like Blood on Her Name.... But, done wrong, it can feel like a shallow female centric film that can't avoid a male focused narrative. That's what happened in Girl.
| Original Score: 3/10 | Feb 24, 2021
...there isn't enough substance to make Faust's stylish choices mean something, so this thriller comes across as more empty that gratifying.

Though it ultimately amounts to a routine revenge thriller, Faust coaxes impressive acting from his leads and demonstrates skillful promise for future efforts.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Dec 7, 2020
A grimy, mean-spirited, claustrophobic drama reminiscent of Jim Thompson.
| Dec 3, 2020
Violent mystery centers on fierce female; drinking, smoking.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 2, 2020
Mickey Rourke and Bella Thorne are better than the material...
| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 1, 2020
Compelling stuff in a trashy dirty universe.

Bella Thorne is a talented actress but this movie is average at best.
| Original Score: 5/10 | Nov 26, 2020
Such a generic title feels appropriate for this formulaic thriller.

'Girl' is a promising debut for Chad Faust, featuring a rugged, captivating, and screen-hungry Bella Thorne.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 25, 2020
Girl is a small revenge thriller made watchable by Bella Thorne in the title role as she overcomes the twists and turns of the plot-and the problems with the script-through sheer force of will.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Nov 25, 2020
Bella Thorne's most challenging role to date. [Full review in spanish].
| Original Score: 3/ 5 | Nov 24, 2020
Looking at Girl as a grainy, strained family mystery, there is some crooked pleasure to be had trying to juggle one dramatic twist after another alongside the equally bemused protagonist.
| Original Score: 6/10 | Nov 21, 2020
A wobbly and desperately unimaginative mesh-up of contemporary noir and a Southern-fried tale of ancestral trouble.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Nov 20, 2020
Thorne, however, remains compelling throughout, and even when "Girl" struggles to zero in on what it's trying to say, its star stays grounded in the deeper meanings.
| Original Score: C+ | Nov 20, 2020
They may be trying to be cool noirish or Tarantino-esque gangsters, or at the very least psych Girl out and intimidate her. It just feels like it's trying to evoke a vibe without having the actual weight of the vibe it's trying to evoke.

A slickly made, effectively atmospheric B-movie suspenser that marks a promising feature debut for its writer/director, who also plays a featured role.
