Reviews
Critics have generally regarded "Girls" as a sincere and intimate portrayal of teenage life in Russia, with mixed but mostly positive reviews. On IMDb, the film holds a rating of 6.2/10, reflecting a moderate appreciation from audiences. Reviewers have praised the film for its raw and honest depiction of adolescence, highlighting the naturalistic acting and the nuanced exploration of its characters’ emotional landscapes. The film’s direction and cinematography have been noted for their understated style, which complements the story's contemplative mood. However, some critics have pointed out that the narrative pacing may feel slow to viewers accustomed to more dynamic storytelling, potentially limiting its broader appeal. There is also commentary on the film’s focus on the female perspective being both its strength and a niche appeal. Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic do not have extensive critical aggregator scores available for this film, possibly due to its limited international release, but the critical response leans toward appreciation for its honesty and heart, with some critiques focused on its modest production values and pacing.
