A 17-year-old girl experiences a sexual awakening when she falls head over heels in love with her female teacher. She writes this down in her diary, and writes so well, vividly and recognisably that both mother and grandmother think the book should be published, without taking into account that the girl has only written it to keep the crush alive for herself.
Haugerud’s writing is consistently surprising and elastic in its reach, as it picks out common insecurities and gaping ideological differences between three generations of women — but reserves its most piercing compassion for the youngest of them.
★★★★★
This is an amiably talky film, and yet I never for a moment considered that the central relationship was being presented with anything less than seriousness, and there is much dry comedy to be enjoyed.
