Wavering between light comedy and drama with wonderfully natural performances, 17 Girls doesn't judge anyone's behavior. Read full review

17 Girls has a powerful and loving sense of place. Read full review

The insights into girlhood in the opening are coming from the viewpoint of adults, while in a story this strange-but-true, it'd be more helpful to see these kids as they see themselves. Read full review

Impressively, the rookie scribe-helmers' sense of equilibrium is unerring and also surprisingly subtle. Read full review

17 Girls is allegedly inspired by true events, but this diffident, dreamy film is so insubstantial it's hard to believe there's a speck of reality to be found in it. Read full review

The setting for "17 Girls" is a French seaside town with a gorgeous beach. Aside from that, what you have here are the ingredi-ents for a Maury Povich show. Read full review
