Quirky coming-of-age fantasy has cursing, sex.

I hope Myers and Whittet make more movies. Maybe it's best to consider this one just practice.

This isn't the polished product it might have been, but it's ambitious and creative and it succeeds in standing out.

Overall, this is a delightful film from an exciting new voice in Australian cinema and, even better, it offers teenagers a refreshing take on adolescence.

"Girl Asleep" isn't easy to categorize. It's a wild curiosity that shifts on a whim. In that sense, there couldn't be a better metaphor for the inner workings of a teenage girl's mind.

Highly creative work from Rosemary Myers, and while she hasn't mastered tonal changes, she's beginning a promising career with this endearingly oddball movie.

Not every chance director Rosemary Myers takes in her debut feature pays off. But the point is, at least she takes some, and when they work, they work to perfection.

Plays like the love child of Jane Campion and Guy Maddin, an otherworldly quinceañera that celebrates female rites of passage and the hallucinatory power of film.

At once a throwback to so many of the off-kilter Australian films of the '70s and '80s and a declaration of a promising new voice, Girl Asleep doesn't always hold together...But that's all part of the film's adventurous appeal.

It takes us into Greta's head through her dreams and thoughts.
