Dhont's film comes across as mere exploitation long before the bewildering third act, when it changes gears into a Black Swan-adjacent body horror that quickly loses the grip of reality.

Looks terrific, is not afraid to tackle a number of difficult subjects and features a star-making performance from acting and dancing talent Victor Polster.

It feels exploitative, rather than empathetic. But it's the irresponsible handling of the film's final, shocking scenes that is the most problematic.
January 24, 2019
One of the most agonisingly well-observed films about being an adolescent that I've ever seen.

Dhost's nonjudgmental film doesn't traverse new territory for a trans film, and it features too much dancing, but it benefits from its authenticity.

If there's anything the increased visibility of transgender people in our culture has imparted above all, it's that gender is about more than genitalia. Girl, for all its pretensions toward allyship, regressively insists in the opposite direction.

This isn't just a trans story -- it's also a broader story of becoming, and the bold steps required to get there.

Lukas Dhont's debut feature is a moving portrait of a body in transition.
February 13, 2019
Watch out for Polster, Worthalter, and especially Dhont. Anyone who can direct a film with such control, sensitivity and confidence on their first attempt has a bright future ahead.

Where most queer films are about external conflicts and prejudice, Lara's primary conflict in this movie is with what she sees in the mirror.
