Strange Magic

About This Movie

Strange Magic is a fascinating documentary that takes a deep dive into the themes of adolescence and memory, all through the unique lens of Tavi Gevinson’s experiences. The film feels intimate, almost like you're peeking into Gevinson’s own thoughts as she reflects on Sofia Coppola's The Virgin Suicides. Her writing and visuals from her fanzine add a layer of authenticity, making it a personal exploration rather than just a traditional analysis. The pacing feels contemplative, allowing you to soak in the emotions tied to the narrative. It's distinctive in how it marries personal reflection with broader themes of youth and tragedy, creating a blend that’s both tender and sobering.
