Girlhood

112 minutes • 2014 • 6.9

Marieme lives with her family in a poor neighborhood on the outskirts of Paris. All she wants is to be like everyone else, but for the second year in a row she does not have good enough grades to graduate from high school. When she meets three petty criminal girls in front of the hard-boiled Lady, she sees an opportunity to find both fellowship and a path that is only hers.

A self-determined loss of innocence is depicted in the raw strong conclusion to Céline Sciamma's trilogy about childhood and adolescence.
