Girls Like Girls

“Alive to both the soul connection and the bodily itch of these intimate, unwieldy, personally uncharted feelings, Kiyoko’s uncommonly lovely teen movie matches the dizzy, obsessive ecstasy of the song that inspired it.”

Guy Lodge, Variety · 90

“A memorable coming-of-age story, at times beautifully realized and occasionally a little undercooked.”

William Bibbiani, TheWrap · 81

“Beautifully shot and tenderly acted, placing all its faith in pure emotion rather than in overly convoluted twists and turns, this is the sort of gem that feels all the more special for appearing, at first, so ordinary.”

Angie Han, The Hollywood Reporter · 80

“Mostly, Girls Like Girls wins us over with a singular type of first-film assuredness: a familiar story presented as the most personal reveal ever. If you can’t remember what it was like to try to tiptoe while swooning, your heart barely able to stay in your chest, you were never a teenager.”

Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times · 80

“Girls Like Girls has a few slow moments, but Kiyoko beautifully captures the looseness of teens hanging out, the vague endlessness of summer when you’re young and the shimmery, shivery feeling of first love.”
