Carrie Pilby is rough around the edges but very endearing as Bel Powley delivers a compelling performance that's often enough to push past contrived notions. Read critic reviews

Audience Reviews for Carrie Pilby

  • Oct 27, 2017
    I remember reading the book many years ago and enjoying it. This movie did pretty well with it. I didn’t know any of the cast, but they were all good. Kind of a chick flick about a girl who doesn’t fit in due to her very high IQ. She’s not obnoxious with it, though. I liked her awkwardness.
