Review of Girl

Girl (1998)
7/10
Good lead performance
6 January 2001
They don't make enough authentic films about teenage girls, and this is definately not the one you're waiting for. Hopefully the upcoming GHOST WORLD will do the subject justice, but GIRL isn't all that bad. The writing suffers, the narration can be especially corny, but Dominique Swain shines in the lead role, even if the directing seems amateurish. This is an o.k. effort at portraying modern young women that I'm sure many high-schoolers will relate to.
