Joyful, fun and alive with warmth and sincerity, Girl Asleep is a treasure. Go to Full Review Cary Darling Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com 10/13/2016
4/5
At once a throwback to so many of the off-kilter Australian films of the '70s and '80s and a declaration of a promising new voice, Girl Asleep doesn't always hold together...But that's all part of the film's adventurous appeal. Go to Full Review Stephanie Merry Washington Post 10/06/2016
3/4
"Girl Asleep" isn't easy to categorize. It's a wild curiosity that shifts on a whim. In that sense, there couldn't be a better metaphor for the inner workings of a teenage girl's mind. Go to Full Review Marya E. Gates Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack) 02/12/2024
Visually inventive and economically paced. Go to Full Review Molly Templeton Eugene Weekly (OR) 08/27/2018
Girl Asleep, a whimsical, beautiful Australian film, manages to fit all those concerns - social hierarchy, vicious teasing, the landscape of a creative young mind - into just 77 minutes. Go to Full Review Janire Zurbano Cinemanía (Spain) 12/07/2017
3.5/5
... the film stands out thanks to an aggressive visual language, with a marked seventies aesthetic that refers to the films of Wes Anderson... [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews

See more 10/21/2017 Strange little movie I stumbled upon on Blu Ray but had never heard of, despite it being a fairly recent Australian film. Glad I took a chance on it. I didn't love the fantasy part at the end, but the rest was great. Really got the 70's era captured perfectly and I liked the strangeness of the characters. See more Read all reviews
