Reviews


70
Village Voice - Serena Donadoni
Browning captures Eve's weariness and enthusiasm, and her lovely voice and crisp delivery gives Murdoch's labored lyrics a vulnerable immediacy.
67
IndieWire - Unnamed
God Help the Girl doesn’t quite succeed in convincing the viewer to toss conventional character development out the window, it still has its moments.
64
Film.com - James Rocchi
Murdoch’s film is fraught with ambition and aspiration, but a little thin on talent and technique.
60
The Guardian - Xan Brooks
God Help the Girl comes loose and easy, verging on the slipshod. It's warm and generous, verging on the sentimental; a film that crystallises the best and worst of Belle and Sebastian's songwriting skills.
60
Empire - Unnamed
As Marmite-y as Stuart Murdoch's music, you'll find it either winningly charming or irritatingly fey. Either way, its warmth shines through.
