17 Girls
This very promising first film, also based on a true story, is a coming-of-age tale with vengeance. When one girl gets pregnant in a small French town (in reality, Gloucester, Massachusetts), she's initially distraught, but beguiled by the fantasy that she will be unconditionally loved forever by her childshe changes her mind. (Why not get a dog?) Sixteen other girls join her in an act of bizarre solidarity and rebellion against the little that their lives seem to offer them. 17 Girls is haunted by the sobering knowledge that the reality the girls face is not the one they imagine in their dreamy absorption with their changing bodies. Played the Toronto Film Festival. 86min Not Rated
