- 100The New YorkerRichard BrodyThe New YorkerRichard BrodyZlotowski crafts a distinctive style to distill and heighten the drama’s psychological complexities and societal analyses. No less than its young protagonists, the film dangerously brushes against the edge of modernity’s enticingly destructive glitz.
- 90The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThe New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisSultry, but never sleazy, observant yet nonjudgmental, An Easy Girl is more than just a tale of innocence and experience. Taking a nuanced look at sexual awakening and, to a lesser extent, class distinction, the movie has a charming flightiness that builds to an unexpectedly touching climax.

- 80The Hollywood ReporterJon FroschThe Hollywood ReporterJon FroschA relaxed, warmly sensual coming-of-age drama so steeped in ripe South of France flavor — sun, sea, lots of skin and a bit of bling — that you practically want to eat it by the spoonful.

- 75The Film StageEd FranklThe Film StageEd FranklThis is a straightforward coming-of-age story from France, a country for whom this is almost a national cliché, but elevated by a key eye for gender roles of its protagonists and an up-to-date message for a teenage generation growing up in a #MeToo world.
- The film can feel slight at times. But it’s eminently watchable.
- 63Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreSex, skin, scenery and aspirational affluence are the Netflix selling points, here. But director/co-writer Rebecca Zlotowski made this a drama, not a comedy. She’s leaning towards cultural commentary.
