Reception
The film was nominated for the Palme d'Or at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival. On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 46%, based on 50 reviews, and an average rating of 5.8/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Girls of the Sun has the best of intentions, but this worthy - and thoroughly timely - story is fatally undermined by its clumsily overbearing execution." Agnès Poirier noted that the film initially received "high praise at Cannes" but later "an overwhelming majority of we critics found the film appalling: dreadfully written, poorly directed, verging on obscenity for treating tragedy with Valkyrie-like music and aestheticised images".
