Entertainment Reviews:
Potter has a rich compositional eye, but she wisely trims the fat from the dialogue, which dances around most of the melodrama until an explosive last act.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Rating: 3/4 --
Coming from anyone else, Ginger & Rosa would be a sensitive if predictable coming-of-age tale set in the mists of the distant past. But coming from writer-director Sally Potter, it's a major surprise.

Globe and Mail
Rating: 3/5 --
Potter's film lacks enough heart, passion and sincerity to effectively resonate.

CineVue
[Ms. Potter's] impeccable sense of color and composition, and her use of montage and careful sound design as a kind of emotional shorthand, are used here in the service of novelistic psychological realism.
New York Times
The film simply opts for cheap lyrical reconciliation and a shrug.
Full Review
The Atlantic
Ms. Potter puts her heroines in a succession of interesting -- and handsomely photographed -- situations in which they define themselves by talking about what they're up to, rather than by taking urgent action.
Wall Street Journal
While it does manage to feature an outstanding lead performance, there's a frumpy sense of dissociation from the proceedings, devoid of kitchen sink realism even as it plunges into domestic drama fussies towards its muted finale.

Product Description:
Rebellious London teens Ginger and Rosa find their friendship tested against the backdrop of the Cuban Missile Crisis in this period drama from writer/director Sally Potter (YES, RAGE). The year is 1962. As the international dispute between the Soviet Union and the U.S. threatens to cast a shadow over the entire world, Ginger (Elle Fanning) seeks solace in the arts as Rosa (Alice Englert) favors such distractions as cigarettes and boys. Meanwhile, as the bond between the two girls is strengthened by their shared disdain for their respective mothers, Ginger's free-spirited father Roland (Alessandro Nivola) encourages his daughter to protest while sparking a twinkle in the eye of smitten Rosa. But for Ginger, the pain of her parents' breakup becomes too much to endure, eventually driving her into the company of a compassionate gay couple (Timothy Spall andOliver Platt) and their good friend Bella (Annette Bening), a poet. As the future of mankind begins to look increasingly grim, Ginger and Rosa both realize that the days of their friendship might be numbered whether the world ends in nuclear annihilation or life continues on as usual.
