A really strong teen movie.

Tall Girl is not a movie with depth, though it is more charming than you'd expect. It's just such a shame about that ending.

| Oct 15, 2019

Coming-of-age comedy about feeling different; mild cursing.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 26, 2019

Jodi's problem is easily overcome: she just needs to love herself and let others love her - societal norms be damned.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Sep 19, 2019

Tall Girl has nothing new or fresh to bring to the genre. Instead, it feels a little cheap, very hollow, and loaded with scenes that you can see coming a mile off, even without a height advantage.

What's a girl to do besides mope around feeling bad about her height and never develop a personality beyond that because the writer is incapable of developing a well-rounded teen girl character?

Tall Girl doesn't attempt to conflate tallness with marginalized groups, but instead points out the absurdity of how teenage life makes everyone feel less than.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 13, 2019

On the whole, it's a charming movie about the mental toll of insecurity that also has major blind spots.

Should I say Tall Girl ultimately falls short?

America's mood has changed, and many viewers might not feel much empathy for the small-minded grievances of wealthy teens who drive to school in S.U.V.s.

From a one-note mean girl stereotype to a complete disinterest in how social media shapes the lives of teens, Sam Wolfson's lackluster script fails to bring anything new or timely to the teen rom-com table.

| Original Score: C+ | Sep 13, 2019

There are many films that approach similar subject matter in much more skillful and impactful ways, and they can probably be easily found by just swiping past this one on Netflix.
