Quite engrossing
18 July 2002 | by herbqedi – See all my reviews

Four girls from different areas and different ethnic groups in South Philadelphia. We watch them change as people, and in three of the four cases mature, as their goals change, their bodies change, and their feelings change. The similarities are as striking as the differences. This is briskly paced, engrossing and well worth watching. I give it an 8 out of 10.
