A wise, delicate and immensely touching romance.
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald
Rotten
Much of the film, which so much wants to seem natural and unforced, comes off as contrived and slightly precious.
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution

The characters in All the Real Girls can seem a little thin ... but the emotions always feel genuine.
John Hartl, Seattle Times
Rotten
There's something missing from this slowly paced story of young love, like a painting that's still waiting for its subject to be dropped in.
Robert Denerstein, Denver Rocky Mountain News
