	Media	Author	Review
		Leslie Felperin The Hollywood Reporter	"A well-intentioned but imperfect young-adult-skewing comedy-drama"
		Dennis Harvey Variety	"This is awfully soft stuff, its naval-gazing protagonist not nearly as unusual or delightful as we’re meant to think (...) For a story about a supposed genius, it’s not all that clever or complicated."
		Jordan Hoffman The Guardian	"Bel Powley impresses again (...) [An] ambitious, upbeat and surprising comedy"
		Matt Fagerholm rogerebert.com	"The film sets up an intriguing character and wastes no time planting her in a plot of sheer predictability."
		Wendy Ide Screendaily	"This is not a film which challenges the stereotypes of teen coming of age movies. However the dialogue is sharp, and Powley’s comic timing is well-tuned."
		Christy Lemire rogerebert.com	"Bel Powley is so enormously compelling that she breathes life into Carrie’s quirks and the story’s contrivances (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
