The Girl Reviews
USA Today
Robert Bianco
Graced by strong performances from Sienna Miller and Toby Jones as Tippi Hedren and Alfred Hitchcock, this backstage story of Hollywood sexual obsession is never less than enjoyable.
HollywoodChicago.com
Brian Tallerico
If you knew nothing of the production of "The Birds" and "Marnie" or how totally demented Hitch was behind the camera, there's an interesting history lesson here. I just wish that lesson had more creative drive and personality.
Denver Post
Joanne Ostrow
Sienna Miller is lovely as Hedren, a fresh-faced beauty with a reserve that made her seem sculpted from marble.
New York Post
Linda Stasi
The Girl could have been a great movie, but the screenplay turns Hedren into a paragon of female strength and morality... And then there's Sienna Miller. Halfway believable but missing what Hitchcock called "the volcano inside."
New York Magazine/Vulture
Matt Zoller Seitz
There's ultimately not enough imagination, enough art, in The Girl to justify its having been made.
New York Times
Alessandra Stanley
Once his motives and psychological weaknesses are laid bare, the intrigue dries up, and the rest is just a depressing, true-life Hollywood ending.
The Hollywood Reporter
David Rooney
There are juicy details and compelling central characters, but little texture around them. The attention to period recreation is too clean and fussy.
The New Republic
David Thomson
The Girl, written by Gwyneth Hughes and directed by Julian Jarrold, is remarkable, disturbing and something Hitch would have understood. In addition, it insists quietly on a nagging question: why do we like Vertigo so much?
Film Comment Magazine
Violet Lucca
Despite warranting "a trigger warning" for anyone who has been the victim of sexual harassment, The Girl too often feels too small.
AV Club
Nathan Rabin
The Girl fatally lacks a strong take on its story, though Hitchcock himself might have treasured the irony that a film about the ultimate auteur would be undone by the dearth of a strong authorial voice behind the camera.
CinemaBlend
Katey Rich
The Girl has plenty of its own strength, and ought to make for fascinating viewing for anyone who always suspected there was a savage man behind all those classic horror films.
Boston Globe
Matthew Gilbert
If you approach The Girl' as a sliver, and don't expect a full serving, you are more apt to appreciate it. And Jones is mesmerizing.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
The Girl is not an especially sophisticated or nuanced drama, but it's an irresistibly fascinating one, simply for calling attention to what's already there for the viewing in Hitchcock's greatest film.
RogerEbert.com
Jeff Shannon
Both actors transcend mere mimicry, inhabiting their characters with consummate precision. For its efficiently plotted 90-minute running time, The Girl is never less than fascinating.
Slate
Troy Patterson
Clean and smart and dull.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Lloyd
Neither the script nor the production is substantial enough to make the story quite stand on its own. Our familiarity with the director and his films is taken as a given.
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
The film's ambition -- to personalize and empathize with "The Girl" -- is not an unworthy one, and by presenting the material as a survivor's story, the film completes a conventionally satisfying arc.
Wall Street Journal
Nancy DeWolf Smith
That director Julian Jarrold (with screenwriter Gwyneth Hughes) has filmed an original masterpiece that pays tribute to Hitchcock's talent and vision is a miracle worth celebrating.
Variety
Brian Lowry
The Girl ultimately contains a resonant theme -- how one woman maintained her dignity while faced with such an abuse of power. Seen that way, this snapshot of cinematic history offers much more than a mere "Birds"-eye-view.
Slant Magazine
Daniel Goldberg
This is Hedren's film, told through her eyes, and in spite of all the glamorous costumes and set pieces, it succeeds at being a thoroughly harrowing exposé of Hollywood patriarchy run amok.
