	Author	Review
United States	Alissa Simon Variety	"A gorgeous piece of heritage filmmaking (...) With a vibrant performance from fresh-faced Alba August as the lead"	POS
United States	Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter	"Conventional but well-made (...) [It] might feel quite modern because of its fluid use of loosely handheld camerawork, but purely in terms of the narrative, this is a very conventional coming-of-age story"	NEU
United Kingdom	Wendy Ide Screendaily	"A movie which takes markedly fewer risks than its protagonist. (...) While the film is certainly not subtle, it is credibly heart-wrenching thanks to August’s eye-catching central performance"	NEU
United States	Jeannette Catsoulis The New York Times	"Erik Molberg Hansen’s relaxed camera movements and fuzzy-soft compositions are quite beautiful, and the performances (...) are pitch-perfect."	POS
United States	Pat Brown Slant	"Despite convincing performances, the film is hampered by its stylistic and moral conventionality (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
	Bénédicte Prot Cineuropa	"Adorable and lively (...) The whole film is a real pleasure"	POS
