That is literally the words that surround the excellent upcoming film for Girlhood. The French film has been making waves thanks to its festival support and has reach global recognition for being stunning, artistic and glorious. Girlhood smarts of excellent acting, great cinematography and an evocative, expansive story.
The movie revolves around Marieme. With an oppressive family setting and her school prospects heading towards a dead end, she is sparked by irritation when the boys patrol the neighbourhood and everything they say, goes. In order to start a new life, she meets three free-spirited girls and in hopes to become integrated into the gang.
Just look at the sublime cinematography, the epic story and some phenomenal acting Girlhood looks to be a coming of age story that elevates the film industry to a brand new level. On a note, in this world where “boys finding themselves” movies are an abundance in cinema, it’s great that a tale of girls struggling with their identity during pubescent years is finally getting the exposure of it deserves.
