Girl Model Ratings & Reviews
Film Comment Magazine
Violet Lucca
Despite its poor technical quality, Girl Model is a much-needed counterpoint to the irresponsible camp mentality of Toddlers & Tiaras.
Philadelphia Daily News
Ellen Gray
A disturbing documentary about a side of the modeling business that's far from super.
Shared Darkness
Brent Simon
A vivid and surprisingly emotive exploration of fashion modeling and the refracted reality and cost of the economic opportunities it presents for prepubescent Eastern European girls in particular.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
A powerful documentary that, with a wider scope and a bit more shaping, could have been even more powerful, perhaps unbearably so. What's there is strong enough.
Boston Phoenix
Peter Keough
David Redmon and Ashley Sabin's somber, sometimes poetic, Fred Wiseman-like documentary ...
East Bay Express
Kelly Vance
Cool, calculated doc is hard to fault, but equally difficult to watch with any detachment.
Los Angeles Times
Sheri Linden
The nonaggressive approach can be frustrating, but it nonetheless gets under the skin-deep promises of glamour and wealth that lure a seemingly endless stream of very young hopefuls.
Common Sense Media
Sandie Angulo Chen
Candid look at a sometimes-frightening industry.
Cinema Crazed
Felix Vasquez Jr.
Explores a world that doesn't just appreciate youth. It lusts for it.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Don't expect to look at a catwalk in quite the same fashion again.
Movies.com
Christopher Campbell
The most memorable part of the film is veteran model-turned-scout Ashley Arbaugh, an unbelievably intriguing nonfiction character.
AV Club
Noel Murray
Those with nothing are seduced by the prospect of something, such that they hesitate to complain, lest they end up with less than nothing.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Filled with blind eyes and unspoken agreements, "Girl Model" opens a can of worms, then disdains to follow their slimy trails.
Village Voice
Michelle Orange
The radiant sadness of its two subjects-one a soulfully impassive stripling, one a symmetrical husk-forms the center of Girl Model, and that is enough.
NPR
Ella Taylor
An alarming documentary about the trafficking of Russian child models to the Japanese fashion market ...
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
A sad and cogent documentary about young girls exploited by the modeling industry.
Slant Magazine
Elise Nakhnikian
The doc makes you wonder about every beautiful woman who's ever stared out from a publication, poster, or billboard, looking sophisticated and self-assured.
Creative Loafing
Matt Brunson
This is the sort of film that should be mandatory viewing for all governments that have the power to combat such soul-shredding evil.
Variety
John Anderson
While Girl Model falls a bit short in the delivery of hard facts and incriminating evidence, it more than makes up for that with its knotty psychological profile of Arbaugh.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
This is the sort of film you should see at the cinema because owning the DVD could make you look like a paedophile.
