Critic Reviews for Girl Model

All Critics (36) | Top Critics (16) | Fresh (33) | Rotten (3)

  • Despite its poor technical quality, Girl Model is a much-needed counterpoint to the irresponsible camp mentality of Toddlers & Tiaras.

    Violet Lucca

    Film Comment Magazine

  • A powerful documentary that, with a wider scope and a bit more shaping, could have been even more powerful, perhaps unbearably so. What's there is strong enough.

    October 11, 2012 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

    Ty Burr

    Boston Globe

  • The nonaggressive approach can be frustrating, but it nonetheless gets under the skin-deep promises of glamour and wealth that lure a seemingly endless stream of very young hopefuls.

    Sheri Linden

    Los Angeles Times

  • Don't expect to look at a catwalk in quite the same fashion again.

    Elizabeth Weitzman

    New York Daily News

  • Those with nothing are seduced by the prospect of something, such that they hesitate to complain, lest they end up with less than nothing.

    Noel Murray

    AV Club

  • Filled with blind eyes and unspoken agreements, "Girl Model" opens a can of worms, then disdains to follow their slimy trails.
