Информация о фильме

Like most teenage girls, Minnie Goetze (Bel Powley) is longing for love, acceptance and a sense of purpose in the world. Minnie begins a complex love affair with her mother's (Kristen Wiig) boyfriend, 'the handsomest man in the world,' Monroe Rutherford (Alexander SkarsgArd). What follows is a sharp, funny and provocative account of one girl's sexual and artistic awakening, without judgment. Set in 1976 San Francisco, The Diary Of A Teenage Girl begins at the crossroads of the fading hippie movement and the dawn of punk rock. News commentary of the Patty Hearst trial echoes in the background, as Minnie's young expressive eyes soak in a drug-laden city in transition a' where teenage rebellion and adult responsibility clash in characters lost and longing. Minnie's hard-partying mother and absent father have left her rudderless. She first finds solace in Monroe's seductive smile, and then on the backstreets of the city by the bay. Animation serves a refuge from the confusing and unstable world around her. Minnie emerges defiant a' taking command of her sexuality and drawing on her newfound creative talents to reveal truths in the kind of intimate and vivid detail that can only be found in the pages of a teenage girl's diary.

The movie was very well done; with that being said there were some cringe worthy moments. Idk if anyone else caught where Minnie said her mom used to touch her in a motherly way, then sexual. It did make me angry. The movie did keep me interested and I loved the artistic aspect of it. It really is a good movie just some parts are disturbing...

I liked what they were trying to do with the whole coming-of-age thing, emphasis on the sexual coming-of-age, but I couldn't help getting incredibly annoyed at Minnie, the main character. I guess in a sense she accurately portrays a fourteen (fifteen?) year old girl, in that raw, indie film sort of way, but none of the characters are particularly endearing enough to make up for the fact that I was consistently cringing over the dialogue and choices Minnie was making.

This movie represents the antithesis of good parenting. I hope no parent should lead a lifestyle that puts their child in a scenario even remotely like that represented in the movie. It's despicable. That being said the movie is intense. If that's what you're looking for this will grip you. It'll anger you. So if it can draw raw emotion out of you it's pretty powerful. Just know that you're in for it, don't underestimate it.
