Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
It's unfortunate that Riker's strong central character and evocative location work get undermined, at every turn, by a plot that not only springs zero surprises, but reduces the terror and loss of Cornish's charges to mere life lessons for her.

The Girl enlightens with an unusual insight into the courage, durability and struggle of the Mexican people while taking the viewer on a guided tour of a piece of the country tourists never see.

rotten:
In all aspects, The Girl can't help it-this is headline-torn cinema du tearjerking at its most generic.

Hernandez is soulful and affecting ... and Cornish embodies Ashley's self-centered character with nuance and subtlety.

"The Girl" wants to be eat-your-vegetables cinema, but vegetables are good for you. This misery fest is more like an eat-your-bark movie.
