Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: B --
[Cornish] plays Ashley with a mix of guilt and determination. And the precocious Hernandez brings an equally stubborn quality to Rosa.
Austin American-Statesman
Rating: 3/5 --
There are moving moments as Cornish channels the slow self-enlightenment necessary for Ashley's character arc. And the actress is particularly good in the scenes with the promising young Hernandez.

Los Angeles Times
Hernandez is soulful and affecting ... and Cornish embodies Ashley's self-centered character with nuance and subtlety.

Village Voice
Rating: B --
It's a spare film, but deeply felt and convincing, while bringing Cornish into a whole new light as an actress.

In all aspects, The Girl can't help it-this is headline-torn cinema du tearjerking at its most generic.

Time Out
The Girl is still more "good for you" than "good," but at least it supplements its feature-length lecture with a pair of good performances and a decent payoff.
Television Without Pity
Rating: 1/4 --
"The Girl" wants to be eat-your-vegetables cinema, but vegetables are good for you. This misery fest is more like an eat-your-bark movie.

Description by OLDIES.com:
English director Alfred Hitchcock, a.k.a. The Master of Suspense, is revered as one of the greatest creative minds in the history of cinema. Known for his psychological thrillers, Hitchcock's leading ladies were cool, beautiful and preferably blonde. One such actress was Tippi Hedren, an unknown fashion model given her big break when Hitchcock's wife saw her on a TV commercial. Brought to Universal Studios, Hedren was shocked when the director, at the peak of his career, quickly cast her to star in his next feature, 1963's The Birds. Little did Hedren know that as ambitious and terrifying as the production would be to shoot, the most daunting aspect of the film ended up coming from behind the camera.
