score 8/10
I love coming of age films and this is up there with the best. What truly makes this film brilliant is Saoirse Ronan in the titular role. I've been watching Ronan ever since Atonement way back in 2007 and thought the Lovely Bones was and still is her best role but she is phenomenal in this film. She truly shines through and makes you feel as if you are watching a 17 year old Ronan herself. Even better when you consider she wanted to portray the role with acne because she was playing a teenager. Laurie Metcalf was also brilliant and was shocked to find out she didn't win any awards for Best Supporting Actress.
100% recommend.
