Media reviews
New York Times
The miracle of the movie is that, like Toni, it transcends blunt, reductive categorization partly because it?s free of political sloganeering, finger wagging and force-fed lessons.
The Washington Post
n addition to her exquisite eye for casting, Holmer knows how to film actors and environments in ways that are expressive enough to make up for her minimal dialogue.
The A.V. Club
Without ever saying exactly what her heroine is thinking, Holmer captures a lot of what she?s feeling. And what Toni?s going through should be familiar to anyone who had an awkward puberty ? which is to say, nearly everyone.
The Wrap
Though it deals with complicated emotions surrounding acceptance and individuality, Holmer?s movie, which she wrote with Saela Davis and Lisa Kjerulff, is a model of control, not unlike its strong, watchful central character.
Roger Ebert
An effective and creepy-surreal film.
