San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle
An intelligent, well-made film about a seemingly well-adjusted, likable and loquacious woman.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas
Insightful and thoughtful.
TV Guide Maitland McDonagh
(Fugate's) portrait of Valentine/Baker is rich and compelling.
Read Full Review >Chicago Reader Lisa Alspector
Challenges us to reconcile its snapshots of earnest entrepreneurs, colleagues, and fans with its long takes of her disillusionment.
Read Full Review >LA Weekly Paul Cullum
Even more than the invasive procedures of her day job, or the casual humiliation by the raging misogynists drawn to this business, there's a virulent self-hatred on display that is palpably painful to watch.
Read Full Review >New York Post Jonathan Foreman
Despite inadequate editing and overreliance on bad background music, The Girl Next Door doesn't disappoint.

Great, great, great! I love this flick. Funny, intelligent and surprising. One of the best movies I've seen recently.
