You'll need a strong stomach for some of the scenes in A Girl Like Her, one of the most moving and intelligent of the recent glut of films and TV specials about teenage bullying.
It’s hard to imagine anyone seeing this film and not feeling the weight of the heartbreak when a young girl’s life is destroyed by bullying, and outrage that even with all the awareness and all the campaigning, bullying remains an epidemic in schools everywhere.

A Girl Like Her is a must see movie for teenagers and their parents. It will really open your eyes to the daily struggle many teenager have to face everyday. It's a tear jerker, so be prepared to cry. This movie should be a requirement for teens of all ages to watch. I highly recommend it.
Report
A Girl Like Her focuses on the characters' emotional traumas while eschewing moral panic about how Kids These Days are so wrapped up in their phones and the internet.
The two young female leads, exceptionally well cast, deliver strong performances, and the drama benefits from Weber’s interest in understanding rather than demonizing the bully.
A mix of found-footage thriller, mock-doc realism and public service announcement that rings true almost as often as it rings false.
The young cast comes through with appealing, naturalistic performances. But Weber’s programmatic, preachy story and emotional manipulation is so blatant that it verges on the fatuous.
For all its hidden-camera footage and teary confessions, the movie rings as true as an episode of MTV’s “Real World.”
Fantastic movie. Powerful story. A must see for all teenagers and their parents. My friends and I all cried. I liked that the dialogue seemed realistic.

An impeccable performance by the young woman playing the antagonist in this film. Hunter King will do great things in this industry if she continues turning in performances like "A Girl Like Her". Riveting, emotional, spot-on delivery and timing. This girl is bound for ****.
An important message and a well constructed story. This movie belongs in schools and homes everywhere.
Report
Well, here it is even though you would never have thunk it possible: A modern, anti-bullying version of Refer Madness. Between the unlikely things people would say knowing full well the camera is rolling and the lousy emo warbler music, we get a film that takes a serious subject and turns it into easily-dismissed after-school special. The movie however does accidently raise a point the makers probably wouldn't care for: when the faculty are having a public forum with the parents and the parents ask what the school is doing to prevent bullying, the administration hems and haws. You will never hear anyone say "nothing that will actually work" even though that is the correct answer. It helps to think of school like a prison. All the inmates are fully trained in and have mastered the times and places the guards aren't looking. So instead what we see today is anti-bullying theater full of sound and fury and signifying nothing.
