The Diary of a Teenage Girl

"This adaptation of Phoebe Gloeckner's heavily autobiographical novel is ideally cast and skillfully handled."

"What a ballsy film and honest too."

"Young women have desires too, and the unsinkable, uninhibited Minnie finds that a little self-belief can make up for a lot of bad decisions."

"The novel is life-specific, but what makes Minnie - on the page and now on the screen - greater than any one girl is how she tells her own story in her own soaringly alive voice."

"This is the rare movie that realises that individuals are the sum of formative experiences some good, some bad, and some productive in their devastation."

"A remarkably vibrant and frank look at one precocious teen's emerging sexual life."

"Minnie’s inner life, a fantasia of animations appearing Crumb-like around her, is dazzling, and there’s plenty of naked emotion amid the sex, drugs and hand-drawn penises."
