Reception

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 80% based on 15 critics, and the average rating is 6.7/10.[3]

Peter Sobczynski from Roger Ebert.com gave it a 3.5 out of 4 stars, and wrote "An occasionally strange, occasionally brutal and occasionally lovely work that goes up on the shelf with 'The Ocean of Helena Lee' and 'Girlhood' as one of the more impressive coming-of-age tales of recent times."[4] The A.V. Club's Adam Nayman gave it a C+, and stated "The ostensible boldness of Misunderstood is undermined by the sense that it's also pandering-that its view of childhood as a bourgeois horror-show is at least as salable on the art-house circuit as it is authentic to its creator's experiences."[5]
