Review of Girlhood (2003) by Ks — 26 Apr 2007
Perhaps if the girls were caucasian, this documentary would have gotten better reviews. I like how straightforward it is. It just tells the girls' story. There is no upside to the endings. One girl's mom died and the other's walked away to get another fix.
The girl who murdered someone was gang raped at 11 and is cut off emotionally from her pain. The other girl feels her pain from neglect and acts it out. Foster care and 8 homes in 8 months isn't necessarily an "up" ending.
Their futur's are as much a mystery to us as it is to them. The LA Times review is wacked.
