	Author	Review
United States	Eddie Cockrell Variety	"'Girl Asleep' is an exuberant example of imaginative filmmaking that takes its cues from imagination and talent."	POS
United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"As it seesaws between Greta’s conscious and unconscious minds, the movie begins to feel like a waking dream."	POS
United States	Harry Windsor The Hollywood Reporter	"'Girl Asleep' might be about an awakening, but it’s not a sexual awakening, and this is one teen comedy in which, at long last, the geek doesn’t get the girl."	POS
United Kingdom	Sarah Ward Screendaily	"Myers crafts an effervescent yet astute splash of teen life that delights the eyes, warms the heart and tickles the funny bone in equal measures."	POS
United States	Stephanie Merry The Washington Post	"'Girl Asleep' isn't easy to categorize. It's a wild curiosity that shifts on a whim. In that sense, there couldn't be a better metaphor for the inner workings of a teenage girl's mind. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
