The Diary of a Teenage Girl

ComedyDramaRomance103 min

Minnie Goetze is 15, living in 1976 San Francisco and filling her diary with drawings, thoughts, and questions she can’t quite ask out loud. Bel Powley’s Minnie is an aspiring comic-book artist coming of age between the fading hippie scene and the start of punk, while Kristen Wiig is her mother, whose boyfriend Monroe (Alexander Skarsgård) catches Minnie’s attention. When Minnie starts a secret relationship with him, her private entries become a candid record of sex, art, and adolescence.
