Girlhood (2014)
Written & directed
by Celine Sciamma this film stars Karidja Toure, Assa Sylla, Lindsay
Karamoh and Marietou Toure. A 16 year old French girl of African
decent living on a poor Paris estate fails out of school and joins a
gang.
This is a really good
coming of age tale that shows a girl butting heads with a world that
has little interest in her. I enjoyed the plot although a longer cut
would have fleshed out the protagonists journey a little more. There
are some nice shots but the best part about the direction is it's
excellent use of music in key scenes.
4/5
