The critical consensus

Girl Model doesn’t attempt to mount a polemic about the sexualisation of teenagers, or the exploitation of women, but coolly observes situations where both of these processes are at work.

***(*)(*)Eddie Harrison, The List, 27/01/2012

The filmmakers stay back, observing, for a restrained, intimate and poignant result.

****(*)Jonathan Crocker, Total Film, 30/01/2012

Thought-provoking. Deeply unsettling.

Ashley Clark, Little White Lies, 09/02/2012

The sense of outrage feels stymied by the miserable diet of information.

**(*)(*)(*)Anthony Quinn, The Independent, 10/02/2012

This fantastically depressing film ought to be shown in school assemblies, or wherever impressionable pre-teens gather to discuss their dreams of media stardom.
