At her mother's urging, introverted 16-year-old Lucia joins her Catholic school's all-girls choir, where she befriends Ana-Maria, a popular older student. When the choir travels to a countryside convent for a weekend retreat of intensive rehearsals, Lucia navigates the unfamiliar surroundings, complex teenage social structures, and her own awakening sexuality. A series of initiations, including an eye-opening experience with a handsome construction worker, test Lucia's friendship with Ana-Maria and the other girls, as she begins to question her beliefs and disrupt the harmony within the choir.

William Repass Slant Magazine The film fascinatingly shows how Catholic moral strictures and an underlying paganism where desire is holy are two sides of the same coin. Rated: 3/4 Nov 29, 2025 Full Review Tara Brady Irish Times Djukic’s feature debut echoes the sensitivities of Céline Sciamma’s early coming-of-age stories but with a bold, cinematic bent. Rated: 4/5 Aug 28, 2025 Full Review Laura Venning Little White Lies Grounded by compelling performances by its two leads, it’s a sexually charged but touching story of adolescent desire in all its dirtiness and divinity. Rated: 4/5 Aug 28, 2025 Full Review Ema Sasic Next Best Picture "Little Trouble Girls" is a confident debut from Djukić, who captures so much life and perspective into a dreamy 90-minute film. Making it even more impressive are wonderful debut performances from Ostan and Svajger. Rated: 7/10 Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Frank J. Avella The Contending This compelling coming-of-age film only disappoints at the very end, where it simply loses its grit. Rated: B- Nov 22, 2025 Full Review Calum Cooper Cinerama Film Little Trouble Girls treats its weighty themes with the empathy and sincerity they deserve, leaving us with a visually spellbinding and strikingly acted gem of a film.
