Sexuality DIscovered through "Diary of a Teenage Girl"



The new Marielle Heller directed film, "Diary of a Teenage Girl," is an intriguing representation of one young woman's experience as she explores her sexuality and doesn't sugar-coat the process like many Hollywood movies do. In an interview featured in The Guardian, Heller says "We need to see women’s stories reflected in ways that feel genuine and honest,” she says. “I think [mainstream cinema] does such a disservice to women by trivializing them and their emotions.” 

I look forward to the film (starring Bel Powley, Kristen Wiig, and Alexander SkarsgĂ„rd) and hope to see a "real," or least semi-authentic portrayal of what it's like to be a teenage girl going through the confusing, exciting, and scary time that is puberty and discovery.
