Margaret Pomeranz, At the Movies (Australia)
This exquisite film is as pure as you can get; it's observational, it's minimalist, there's no intrusive music except where it is part of the action.

Andrew L. Urban, Urban Cinefile
Sweet and well observed, the film takes us inside a typical family in a typical Paris suburb - and gives us a spin

Jon Frosch, The Atlantic

Modestly conceived and executed.

"Tomboy" is tender and affectionate.

"Tomboy," a brief and sweetly refreshing French film, is the story of a lie.

John DeFore, Washington Post
Sciamma pictures the story in dappled sunlight and wooded fields that, though not far from dull apartment blocks, have an out-of-time seductiveness.
