dir. Marielle Heller · 2015
Exploring one's desires and identity can lead to both self-discovery and complicated relationships.
"The Diary of a Teenage Girl" is a poignant exploration of adolescent desire and self-discovery, set against the vibrant backdrop of 1970s San Francisco. With its unique blend of humor and heartache, the film invites viewers to navigate the complexities of first love and artistic ambition through the eyes of a young woman grappling with her identity.
Minnie Goetze is a 15-year-old aspiring comic-book artist, coming of age in the haze of the 1970s in San Francisco. Insatiably curious about the world around her, Minnie is a pretty typical teenage girl. Oh, except that she’s sleeping with her mother’s boyfriend.
