The Holy Girl Ratings & Reviews
Arizona Republic
Kerry Lengel
Director Lucrecia Martel's storytelling is spare to the point of being stingy.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
Martel's style is tentative, elusive, so much so that even the most conventional episodes benefit from her fresh perspective.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
A very intelligent movie marked by candor and compassion.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Ultimately turns out to be something of a bore, a film that, like one of its main characters, wanders around touching on subjects and then fleeing before connecting fully.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
A uniquely intriguing motion picture.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
In fact, the first meeting between Dr. Jano and Amalia at an outdoor Theremin demonstration is so startling, so luridly unexpected, I found myself so mesmerized by the vulgar hilarity I couldn't wait to see where I was going to be taken next.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Jeff Strickler
Keeping the viewers at a distance also makes it difficult to empathize with the characters, a situation worsened by disjointed plotting.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
I'm tempted to write 'I say it's spinach and I say the hell with it,' except that I actually like spinach, and I could barely keep this half-baked dish down.
Washington Post
Stephen Hunter
It's a document that suggests that the road to hell is paved with bad communication skills.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
A collection of beautifully acted encounters, conversations, symbols, and vignettes woven into an evocative and unforgettably surreal garment.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
See The Holy Girl, if only for Ms. Alche's satanic smile.
San Francisco Chronicle
Ruthe Stein
A hauntingly lyrical study of sexual awakening.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
A subtle artist and a sharp observer, Martel manages a large cast with an ease that matches her skill at storytelling, within which psychological insight and social comment flow easily and implicitly.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
Spiritual longing gets tangled up with erotic fever for the teenage girls who whisper in one another's ears in Lucrecia Martel's marvelous, psychologically unnerving second feature.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
Alche has an amazingly expressive face and becomes such a magnetic presence that you'll feel a distinct need to rescue her.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
No wonder Pedro Almodovar signed on as executive producer. We suspect Luis Bunuel would have done the same, were he still with us.
Newsday
Jan Stuart
The erotic and the surreal converge with an acuity that recalls Luis Bunuel in his prime.
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
Working against the grain of this potentially lurid story, Martel again builds her dryly comic drama from an accumulation of recurring riffs and seemingly unrelated micro-incidents.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
Succeeds both as a religious parable and a cautionary tale.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
Lucrecia Martel's elusive, feverish and altogether amazing second feature seems to communicate as much to the nerves and skin as to the eyes and ears.
