The Diary of a Teenage Girl
watching the diary of a teenage girl made me realize what a rarity it is to see a teenage girl explore sexuality so frankly and honestly on screen??? a film about a 35-year-old man manipulating and sleeping with a young girl (who is his adult girlfriend's daughter no less) can obviously get extremely uncomfortable very quickly, but <PERSON> is a master at keeping everything grounded in <PERSON>'s perspective—i certainly did not expect to feel so seen. teenage female sexuality is so scary and messy and confusing and empowering all at once and i don't really have anything to say except that this is a really special film.
p.s. if you liked this, i highly recommend the tv show my mad fat diary! 292
