In a strict boarding school nestled in the Himalayas, 16-year-old Mira discovers desire and romance; but her sexual, rebellious awakening is disrupted by her mother who never got to come-of-age herself.

Critics Consensus

A deeply felt coming of age tale that gleans insightful societal commentary from its intimate details, Girls Will Be Girls announces writer-director Shuchi Talati as a talent to watch.

Kevin Maher

Times (UK)

It’s typical of the deadpan realism that the India-born and New York-based film-maker Shuchi Talati brings to a movie that sits neatly between Diary of a Teenage Girl and Imitation of Life, and yet is also culturally and painfully specific.

Rated: 4/5

Wendy Ide

Observer (UK)

Talati’s work with her young cast is first-rate; this sensitively handled coming-of-age picture deservedly won an audience prize at Sundance earlier this year.

Rated: 4/5

Troy Ribeiro

Free Press Journal (India)

he film doesn’t settle for easy answers. It’s a slow burn, richly textured and unapologetically messy, much like the process of growing up itself.

Rated: 3.5/ 5

Santanu Das

Hindustan Times

Confident and deeply empathetic, Girls Will Be Girls is a stirring debut, and one of the best films of the year.

Anna M.M. Vetticad

The Economic Times (India)

Though it inhabits an initially lonely landscape for women, Girls Will Be Girls is ultimately an uplifting, energising collaborative rebellion against an unacceptable status quo.

It leaves you a tad disturbed for some unknown reason. The female lead is amazing.
