The Diary of a Teenage Girl's reviews
Media reviews
Rolling Stone
"A fascinating and relevant Marielle Heller first feature with a great stellar performance of British actress Bel Powley."
The Hollywood Reporter
"In this brave, intimate and quiet debut, Marielle Heller achieved almost everything that young independent filmmakers say they want to do when they start: create a cool job, personal and distinctive with its own 'voice'."
Indiewire
"[A] debut vividly sketched (...) that certainly shows a rich, expressive and vibrant history on the passage to adulthood."
El País
"Brave, rich and overflowing movie (...) its frank, direct and free representation of all moral corset adolescent sexuality is tremendously refreshing (...) Bel Powley is offered as a revelation."
Cinemanía
"Deep film about how to be a teenage girl in 1976's San Francisco."
Variety
"Marielle Heller's film debut (...) she manages to dive in too early sexual life of a girl of 15 years old, without being forced or distasteful (...) [has] an ideal cast that is well directed."
