Girlfriend Ratings & Reviews
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...it's clear right from the get-go that the filmmaker does possess an admittedly strong eye for striking visuals...
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
What begins as an absorbing exercise in glum atmosphere turns mild, meek, and desperate as the stakes rise.
Boston Phoenix
Peter Keough
Shooting in his hometown of Wayland, Massachusetts, Lerner has a keen sense of class and setting. And despite some narrative miscues, Sneider's performance keeps him honest.
HitFix
Drew McWeeny
It is an affecting and special film, and Justin Lerner emerges from it as a name to remember.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
A modest, uneven example of regional American independent film. But it has tremendous heart and integrity...
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Emotionally manipulative and problematic...
New York Times
Mike Hale
Doesn't miss many clichs of small-town, working-class, going-nowhere life.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Despite its somewhat contrived turn of events, Girlfriend manages to be genuinely endearing with beautiful cinematography and a heartfelt, raw performance by newcomer Evan Sneider
Village Voice
Benjamin Mercer
Implausibilities mount, and by the last act Lerner appears to have lost any compunction he might have had about using his protagonist to tug the audience's heartstrings.
Slant Magazine
Kalvin Henely
Girlfriend is surprisingly backward not only in the story that entangles its main character, but also in its characterization of women.
