Tara Brady Irish Times Sep 17
4/5
There is an indie flavour, an echo of Sean Baker’s empathetic gaze, and the perfume of sincere 1990s-era Sundance that keeps the film personable rather than indie schmindie. Go to Full Review

The best thing about Girls & Boys is one of the main characters is trans and absolutely no one blinks an eye at this... this is so delightful to see it’s just such a shame what’s on offer here isn’t more cleverly done. Go to Full Review

While a brief running time leaves the viewer wanting a little more, Girls & Boys nevertheless charms and engages, encouraging audiences to take a leap of faith and allowing Gilmore to make good on the promise shown in past shorts. Go to Full Review

3/5
A crowded third act dilutes the magic somewhat, but this tender, low-key feature finds its way back. A promising start for everyone involved. Go to Full Review
