    (true) girl power
    Movie night with Iris.

    Despite the terrible circumstances upbeat tale of a steady and immutable young woman. This is the most authentic film about British teens in years.

    The events of Rocks are tragic, but the film (like its heroine) refuses to get dragged down by despair. Rocks is a heartfelt testament to the resilience of our young sisterhood.
