The Girl From Plainville: Miniseries | Ratings & Reviews

    "Strong performances anchor a difficult, emotionally draining series."

    Slash FilmSlash Film

    "Most TV series don’t need to justify their existence. This one does and, for the most part, rises to the challenge."

    PastePaste

    "A truthful portrait of grief..."

    Wall Street JournalWall Street Journal

    "A discomfiting digital age tragedy elevated by Elle Fanning..."

    VarietyVariety

    "One of Girl From Plainville's greatest strengths (is) recognising that there’s no explanation that will truly make sense of these heartbreaking events."

    RogerEbert.comRogerEbert.com

    "It’s dreamy, disturbing, and impeccably acted by Fanning and Ryan. But it too often falls into the Hulu trap of simply reenacting, presenting the facts and little more."

    IndieWireIndieWire

    "Hulu’s bleak (series) struggles to justify its existence..."

    A.V. ClubA.V. Club

    "Fanning rises to the task with her startling ability to portray Carter’s inner turmoil."

    IndependentIndependent

    "To the series’ credit, it doesn’t sensationalise a case that’s already hard to believe."

    San Francisco ChronicleSan Francisco Chronicle

    "The Girl From Plainville‘s emphasis on subjective feelings over objective truths makes it a more thoughtful and interesting example of the ripped-from-the-headlines miniseries than most."

    Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

    "The Girl From Plainville has no explicit point of view to justify itself. What it does offer, though, is an extraordinary cast... and some tasteful scripting."

    Boston GlobeBoston Globe

    "(The Girl From Plainville) tells Michelle Carter’s disturbing story with nuance and no exploitation."

    Chicago Sun-TimesChicago Sun-Times

    "As much as Fanning’s performance illuminates and informs our ideas about her character, The Girl From Plainville can never fully explain the person its title references."
