Carrie Pilby Ratings & Reviews
RogerEbert.com
Christy Lemire
As the title character, Bel Powley is so enormously compelling that she breathes life into Carrie's quirks and the story's contrivances.
Observer
Rex Reed
What is the target audience for this particular brand of cotton candy? Teenage girls dreaming of first love while sipping cherry pop?
IndieWire
David Ehrlich
A golden example of what can go wrong when a coming-of-age story shares the same insecurities as its lead character.
Slant Magazine
Diego Semerene
The film is essentially an exercise in forcing a female genius back into her proper place of dependence on both the father figure and the Prince Charming.
FF2 Media
Brigid Presecky
[A] humorous journey.
The Playlist
Noel Murray
This 'emotionally immature braniac' character is funny and heartbreaking in equal measure
Harper's Bazaar
Yasmin Omar
Carrie Pilby is an upbeat comedy that is a comfort to anyone who has ever felt alone in the city.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
A core of substance and a fine cast are squandered in the relentless hard-sell perkiness of this mild comic drama.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
Ms. Powley is a miracle worker.
Village Voice
Serena Donadoni
In her directorial debut, Susan Johnson balances the character's haughty brilliance and aimless privilege with an underlying vulnerability.
The Hollywood Reporter
Leslie Felperin
A well-intentioned but imperfect young-adult-skewing comedy-drama.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
This is awfully soft stuff, its navel-gazing protagonist not nearly as unusual or delightful as we're meant to think despite the high IQ she can't stop referencing.
Punch Drunk Critics
Travis Hopson
And while Carrie's comic misadventures in trying to have some fun aren't as comical as they could be, we don't mind tagging along as the smartest girl in town learns something new.
The Film Stage
Jared Mobarak
[The film] isn't without clich or convenience, but it possesses enough heart to combat them.
Film Freak Central
Bill Chambers
Carrie Pilby is as synthetically directed as it is written, and the performers struggle.
Common Sense Media
S. Jhoanna Robledo
Teen genius learns to live life in so-so book-based dramedy.
PopMatters
Stephen Mayne
There's nothing special about Carrie Pilby... It's pleasant enough viewing though, and adds a few nice touches that subvert gender expectations.
LRM
Edward Douglas
Overall, it's a fairly sweet and enjoyable film.
Film Journal International
Simi Horwitz
Trite and cutesy coming-of-age tale about a super-intelligent young woman who learns a life lesson through taking chances. Purgatory.
Moveable Fest
Stephen Saito
Although there is a formulaic quality to the film's structure, smart casting and an impressive restraint shine through, allowing the bittersweetness of Carrie's ever-frustrating quest to let her emotional maturity catch up with her mental prowess.
