A coming-of-age "traumedy" that follows 16-year-old Lindy (Maddie Ziegler) who is unexpectedly diagnosed with a reproductive condition, MRKH syndrome. The diagnosis upends her plans to have sex, her presumptions about womanhood and sexuality, her relationship with her mother (Emily Hampshire), and most importantly, herself.

3/5
It’s not up there with the heights of the genre -- Clueless, The Craft and Ginger Snaps (name-checked in the film) can rest easy -- but represents a thematically rich addition to the canon. Go to Full Review Radheyan Simonpillai CTV's Your Morning 02/07/2024

Fitting In is explicitly a celebration of our different bodies and the disconnect of certain biological markers from gender. Go to Full Review Clotilde Chinnici Movie Marker Jul 27

4/5
This movie is a reminder that, indeed, all bodies are good bodies, and allowing people to find their own path for their bodies is the best way forward. Whether they fit in or not. Go to Full Review Joseph Tomastik Loud and Clear Reviews 11/21/2024
4.5/5
The film and its characters mince absolutely no words and leave almost nothing to the imagination when it comes to portraying sexuality, pain, shame, confusion, and how all of them intersect. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

MaKenzie 02/03/2024 Was funny, had emotion, flowed like a real life story. Kept my attention. Great overall castings and acting. Will definitely be seeing it again! See more Brian P 02/02/2024 Moving story of a young girl coming off age in a way not like others. Maybe it's better to have emotional growth before physical maturity. See more John B @RT33235304 04/26/2024 Maddie Zeigler is a revelation as she carries this movie with emotional maturity and a stand-out performance. Emily Hampshire is a treat as the over-wrought, but loving mother, with a performance that will make you forget she was the girl behind the counter of the motel in Schitt's Creek. The movie tackles a topic that is difficult, and turns it into a tour de force in dealing with the anxious teenage challenge of fitting in when there is something different about you. Tasteful, humorous, sensitively written and directed. A secret gem which should be less of a secret. See more dave d @RT34924333 04/15/2024 Molly McGlynn's semi-autobiographical narrative feature tries really hard, but misses the mark on multiple levels. First there are two major health issues and one is focused and the other glossed over and it just didn't work for me. McGlynn's disdain for most of those surrounding her isn't unusual for a high school student, but casting someone of legal drinking age to play 17 took me out of the film. Also the haphazard nature of how athletics is brought in. Yes, you can go from never running to a college scholarship, but not quite the way it's described here. Big ole swing and a miss! Wasted chance and such a shame! Final Score: 5/10 See more Scott @Movies36576 04/15/2024 Great movie didn't know it existed See more Dennis M @RT90068080 03/15/2024 Powerful, riveting, and frightening. A polarizing masterpiece of a film. See more Read all reviews
