"GOD HELP THE GIRL is such a perfect pick-me-up that I can’t wait to own for future Sunday nights, whatever night of the week they may occur."
-
"God Help The Girl is destined to become a much loved cult music film shared between young loves like a treasured album."
-
"It's a film that believes in the nurturing centrality of friendship and insists that the writing and playing of pop songs can free people to be their best selves, that music can well and truly save your life....No one comes out and says that music is the language of the soul, but no one has to. We see it happening right before our eyes."

"If Quentin Tarantino had grown up reading Salinger and watching Jacques Demy movies instead of gorging on blaxploitation, grind house, and chop-socky, he might have created something like God Help the Girl, which, to my surprise, delighted and moved me."
-
"That's often the way with first-time directors - they are so nervous about being unprepared that they actually are always the best prepared."
-
"The movie bops around all kinds of modern conundrums — depression, courtship, ambition — with style and grace, and an unflinching poise that you wouldn’t really expect."
-
"Browning has a lovely voice and some indefinable, evanescent charisma, and she gives writer/director Stuart Murdoch’s witty, ’60s-style girl-group songs humor and melancholy in equal measures."
