*Presented in French with English subtitles* Marieme lives on the outskirts of Paris in a poor suburb. Her family life is rough, and she has lackluster prospects with her dead-end school. Everything changes when she meets Lady, Fily, and Adiatou, a trio of cool leather-jacket-wearing girls; things begin to look up. She changes her name, starts dressing a little more confidently, and she starts speaking more with her crush, Ismaël. Director Celine Sciamma is a master craftswoman of coming of age, and GIRLHOOD is her peak, complete with a stunning dance sequence to Rihanna’s “Diamonds.” A complex tale as old as time of a girl who dreams more for herself, GIRLHOOD is a stunning picture.
