About a Girl

About This Movie

So, 'About a Girl' is an interesting ride. It dives into the life of Charleen, a 15-year-old with more angst than most of us can handle. The dark humor is pretty sharp, and the pacing feels very much like the highs and lows of adolescence. It captures that teenage melodrama, you know? The atmosphere is tinged with a raw, almost DIY vibe that reflects the struggles of feeling out of place. The performances are pretty authentic; you can feel Charleen's pain and her obsession with Cobain adds this quirky layer. It’s not overly polished, which makes it feel genuine and relatable. It’s got this unique take on coming-of-age that balances the humor with heavier themes, like dealing with death - literally, given her job prep for funerals.
