DIARY OF A TEENAGE GIRL (2015)

1/26/2016 - Diary of a Teenage Girl (2015) - 6+/10

Honestly, I have little to say about this film. Maybe it is because I don't feel too hot.

I liked it overall and respected its raw truthfulness and imaginative examination of a life as a whole, but I just couldn't get into it. Perhaps it was the distasteful relationship that kept me at arm's length, but I doubt it. I have identified and enjoyed much more disturbing material. I dunno.

It is enjoyable and smartly told, but felt splotchy in plot and over exuberant in emotion; just like a teenage life. Good, but not my cup. So it goes...but still, watch it.
