Little Girl

A sensitively drawn and compelling story...

Though the family's struggles provide the core narrative, "Little Girl" is ultimately a triumphant portrait.

An immersive, experiential film...

Lifshitz's touch here is so delicate that it makes most American talking-heads documentaries look particularly crude and formulaic by comparison.

"Little Girl" plays almost as if it were an aesthetically verité, yet scripted fiction film from the Dardenne brothers.

One could easily mistake "Little Girl" for a fictional drama that tends toward observation and realism.

Little Girl submerges us inside the life of a tight family and introduces us to a mother who is a fighter ready to overcome her own doubts and sacrifice everything for her daughter's happiness and well-being. [Full review in Spanish]

While I cried a number of times, this film is full of joyous moments, and many of those tears were happy.

Told with quiet elegance and a magnificent score, Little Girl evokes a nature documentary at times. We have a feeling thats deliberateLifshitz wants the audience to understand that queerness is natural.

This is a movie that strikes you right at the center of your heart and truly asks the audience to walk in the shoes of this Little Girl.
