Flat Girls

This film moved me. Two girls coming of age start to move away from the innocence of childhood and experience hardship in various forms. Poverty from family addictions, dreams that seem out of reach, infidelity and marital breakdown. All from the perspective of Thai society in a humble flat.

If you're on the fence I recommend seeing it.

"Flat Girls" is a drama centered around the lives of two teenage girls, daughters of police officers, living in the same police flats. The film explores their friendship, which is put to the test as they navigate the challenges of adolescence, including the stark differences in their socioeconomic backgrounds. The story unfolds against the backdrop of the flats, highlighting how their environment shapes their experiences and relationships. It delves into themes of love, friendship, and the complexities of growing up, capturing the essence of a coming-of-age tale where the bonds of friendship are challenged by the realities of life and class differences.

Everything was beautiful, from the cinematography, acting, and location to the sound inside the film. It's complex, heartwrenching, yet relatable and realistic, with the characters facing life complexities, dilemmas, and struggles. It's everything from self-image, identity, love, differences in social class & opportunities, dreams, family/financial circumstances, etc. A total tearjerker with many details to catch.

The movie isn't straightforward and allows room for you to think, interpret, and judge for yourself, which is very "human" in a way. There were just so many things to rewatch it for! The plot, details, beautiful cinematography,scenic views and acting. -it was an experience watching it on the big screen.
