Girlhood

Life has been hard for shy black teenager Marieme (Karidja Touré), a lifetime's worth of abuse and neglect leading her on a search for a sense of belonging. She makes friends with three flashy-looking girls─but, rather than work to compromise her values or get her into trouble, they give her the confidence to be herself and the courage to make her own way in a tough world. Céline Sciamma's sharp, sensitive French drama co-stars Assa Sylla, Lindsay Karamoh. 113 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: French DTS HD 5.1 Master Audio; Subtitles: English; interview; theatrical trailer. In French with English subtitles.
