Review of The Diary of a Teenage Girl (2015) by Chris F — 01 Feb 2016

I was not expecting this to be much good, nevermind brilliant. Sometimes wondrous and at others cringeworthy, but this film works on every level. Buoyed by fantastic break-through performances all round, its an earnest, and captivating look at sexual awakening and the journey to adulthood.

Resonant Line: "Minnie: I want someone to be so totally in love with me that they would feel like they would die if I were gone. Maybe Monroe could love me like that.".
