The website's critics consensus reads, "A is for Amanda, an amusingly absurd coming-of-age comedy that offers poignant observations and positions director Carolina Cavalli as a talent to watch."[8] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 81 out of 100, based on 10 critic reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".[9]
