- Jason Bailey @ Flavorwire
- Excerpt: The character at the center of ‘Diary’ is, for once, not defined by her damage, nor her sexuality. That quality is what makes the picture revolutionary; the insight and wit of of the writing and direction and the bracing humanity of the playing are what make it great.
- David Bax @ Battleship Pretension
- Excerpt: The Diary of a Teenage Girl does one of the things that movies, and art in general, do only when they’re at their best. It makes us see the world entirely from another person’s point of view.
- Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat @ Spirituality & Practice
- Excerpt: A bold and unconventional portrait of a teenager who at 15 finds herself caught up in a surge of sexual experiences and emotions.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Equal parts sophisticated and childish, adventurous and fearful, Powley is astonishingly good as the anchor of writer/director Marielle Heller’s uncompromising adaptation of Phoebe Gloeckner’s novel.
- Mark Dujsik @ Mark Reviews Movies
- Excerpt: The Diary of a Teenage Girl is undeniably bold in its candor, but it leaves us feeling empty.
- James Jay Edwards @ FilmFracture
- Susan Granger @ www.susangranger.com
- Excerpt: A sensitive, emotionally candid sexual awakening…
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: Minnie never comes across as a victim, but rather an uninhibited girl with an inquisitive mind…and body. Whether this lack of judgment or comeuppance is something to applaud is certainly questionable.
- MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: It shouldn’t be radical to see a movie treat a girl with this level of appreciation and understanding of her most intimate inner self. Yet it is.

- [New – 1/7/16] | Rob Wallis @ The Metropolist
