Review of The Diary of a Teenage Girl (2015) by Grncateyes66 — 25 Sep 2015

I just finished binge watching all 7 seasons of True Blood and left totally fascinated by Alexander Skarsgard. I was curious to see if he could act on the big screen. Honestly, the first 10 minutes I was uncomfortable with the content which I expected.

This movie totally captures the mind of a 15 year old teenage girl. I should know since I was one. Bel Powley was so believable as Minnie. I loved her performance and can't wait to see more of her movies. Alexander Skarsgard did a good job with his character, Monroe, as well. It would have so easy to let that character come off sleazy. By the end of the film, I had a great deal of empathy for Monroe.

This film is not about morality but the sexual awakening of a teenage girl. Unfortunately, a forever taboo subject in most societies.

I enjoyed the film. I only gave it an 8 since the last 10-15 minutes fell apart for me.
