Review For The Girl
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. Rex Reed-New York Observer In all aspects, The Girl can't help it-this is headline-torn cinema du tearjerking at its most generic. David Fear-Time Out New York Hernandez is soulful and affecting ... and Cornish embodies Ashley's self-centered character with nuance and subtlety. Chris Packham-Village Voice "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. Kyle Smith-New York Post There are moving moments as Cornish channels the slow self-enlightenment necessary for Ashley's character arc. And the actress is particularly good in the scenes with the promising young Hernandez. Betsy Sharkey-Los Angeles Times What at first came across as a tale of dawning conscience increasingly starts to feel rigged. Manohla Dargis-New York Times A sentimental shift in the last reel of the film seems artificially designed to wrap up the story and demonstrate that a life lesson has been learned. It's when it's at its most contemplative that The Girl is at its best. Marjorie Baumgarten-Austin Chronicle [Cornish] plays Ashley with a mix of guilt and determination. And the precocious Hernandez brings an equally stubborn quality to Rosa. Charles Ealy-Austin American-Statesman There's a heartfelt tenderness for this troubled character on Riker & Cornish's part but it comes at the expense of realism or any serious answers to the questions raised by the film. Brian Tallerico-HollywoodChicago.com The Girl is still more "good for you" than "good," but at least it supplements its feature-length lecture with a pair of good performances and a decent payoff. Ethan Alter-Television Without Pity It's a spare film, but deeply felt and convincing, while bringing Cornish into a whole new light as an actress. Brian Orndorf-Blu-ray.com 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. Scott Tobias-AV Club Too limited in scope and too predictable to transcend its social-issue movie-of-the-week roots as a tearjerker designed to play on feelings of particularly maternal independent film fans. Brent Simon-Shockya.com It's a tribute to Riker's skill as a writer and director that, even when Ashley is behaving in ways that should make her totally unlikeable, you don't completely write her off. Sarah Boslaugh-PopMatters Unsatisfying psychological study of a neglectful mother, failing in its quest for spiritual redemption. Susan Granger-SSG Syndicate The Girl splashes Abbie Cornish's fantastic acting, but the film is dead in the water. Chase Whale-Twitch
