Kim, Bella and Momo are three fourteen-year-old girls who discover a fantastic flower with magic qualities: by drinking its nectar they are transformed into boys and they enter a new world. At first they enjoy their newly found freedom, but their friendship is tested when they get a taste of what it's like growing up as a boy.
The Film Stage by Jared Mobarak
Writer/director Alexandra-Therese Keining‘s adaptation of Jessica Schiefuer‘s 2011 August Prize-winning (Sweden) young adult novel Pojkarna (translated as The Boys but changed to Girls Lost for international release) is deliciously dark and profoundly vital.
Time Out London by Tom Huddleston
Director Alexandra-Therese Keining clearly loves the book and tries to squeeze a little too much of it into her overcrowded film. But it is visually lovely – the transformation scenes are magical – and the young cast are terrific.
Total Film by Josh Winning
Interesting, but others have explored similar themes far more effectively.
We Got This Covered by David James
Girls Lost fills the magical realism, gender dysphoria, Swedish indie teen drama-shaped hole in your life. It's just a damn shame it all falls apart in the final act.
