Title: The Diary of a Teenage Girl Director: Marielle Heller Year: 2015 Run time: 1hr 42m

“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 Skarsgård). What follows is a sharp, funny and provocative account of one girl’s sexual and artistic awakening, without judgment.”

I wanted to like this one because I really like Bel Powley and Kristen Wigg.

But oof, it was just too seventies.
