"Girl Asleep" isn't easy to categorize. It's a wild curiosity that shifts on a whim. In that sense, there couldn't be a better metaphor for the inner workings of a teenage girl's mind.

Girl Asleep
Fifteen is going to turn a corner. It has to.

Rosemary Myers
Overview
The world is closing in on Greta Driscoll. On the cusp of turning fifteen, she can’t bear to leave her childhood; it contains all the things that give her comfort in an incomprehensible new world. She floats in a bubble of loserdom with her only friend, Elliott, until her parents throw her a surprise fifteenth birthday party and she’s flung into a parallel place—a world that’s weirdly erotic, a little bit violent, and thoroughly ludicrous. Only there can she find herself.

Not every chance director Rosemary Myers takes in her debut feature pays off. But the point is, at least she takes some, and when they work, they work to perfection.

I hope Myers and Whittet make more movies. Maybe it's best to consider this one just practice.
Ty Burr, Boston Globe

Plays like the love child of Jane Campion and Guy Maddin, an otherworldly quinceanera that celebrates female rites of passage and the hallucinatory power of film.
Serena Donadoni, Village Voice

As it seesaws between Greta's conscious and unconscious minds, the movie begins to feel like a waking dream.
