Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/24 Full Review Audience Member I really liked this movie 🙏🙏😵‍💫😵‍💫 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/07/24 Full Review Georgan G The inner life of a teenage girl is as complex as this film. So refreshing to see a real depiction of a female growing into a woman. Love the comic drawings as much now as when they were new. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/14/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie claims to be a "coming of age" movie, but it focuses more on showcasing the nudity of the 15 year old character and showing her having sex in multiple scenes, as well as engaging in prostitution. Plus, there were multiple scenes of her using drugs. Cartoons are integrated into the movie in various scenes, likely to make the film more appealing to children. Even if this movie was based on real person, it was completely unnecessary to glorify the sexual encounters of an underage girl in the scenes. Reminder: this movie is viewed for entertainment purposes. Who were they really trying to entertain? They could have made the main character 18 yrs old without changing the movie, but chose instead to make her 15. It doesn't matter that the actress who played the 15 year old was in her early 20s at the time, that was a given. Those responsible for shifting the Overton window the wrong direction for the past 50 years are at it once again in this attempt to normalize inappropriate sexual relationships (read: pedophilia). What is sad is that so many people have overlooked what is really going on here. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review dave s Minnie (Bel Powley), a talented 15-year-old who dreams of being a cartoonist, feels alienated from her dysfunctional family and feels as though she is wallowing in despair and loneliness. She ultimately finds some sense of comfort in the arms of her mother's (Kristen Wiig) boyfriend (Alexander Skarsgaard), leading to a disturbing sexual relationship. Diary of a Teenage Girl is a frank but flawed independent film that features strong performances from the three leads and a story, as uncomfortable as it may be, that succeeds on its many subtle but important emotional twists and turns. However, the inclusion of several animated sequences feels gimmicky and lessens the gritty impact of the film, as does the fact that the whole thing looks as though it was shot with cheesecloth over the lens and lit by candlelight, eliminating what should have been a hard edge to the whole thing. By the time Minnie comes to the realization that you have to love yourself before anyone else can love you, you get the feeling that you've watched a decent movie instead of a great one. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent film. Bel Powley is just superb in it, as is every one else. The story is well-told, the film is creative, has excellent pacing, and portrays the main character in a very empathetic way. Enjoyed this film greatly.
