Review of Girlhood

Girlhood (2014)
6/10
Doesn't go much deeper than the trailer
16 January 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I've been meaning to watch this film for a while now and really liked the vibe of the trailer. Unfortunately, the film feels like a movie-length version of that trailer. The soundtrack is great and there are some atmospheric shots (that sometimes feel a bit long) but the film for me lacks depth and ultimately doesn't really say much. It feels like some key plot points and character development scenes are missing - e.g. The protagonist basically goes from a shy school girl to a confident "gang" member in a matter of minutes, we don't really see how she got there. The last third of the film where she is working for Abou feels rushed as well.
