Well here I am writing a review for a film about a teenage female who breaks out of her depressing home life with a surprising landing-pad-opportunity as Rock reviewer for NME, so the protagonist of the film was an excellent Reviewer. She went to see bands around the country to do a write-up on them. As I'm a similar age to Caitlin Moran, the journalist whom its about, the temporal setting made sense ( I knew the names, anyway!). I had no idea what a good film-watching experience was guaranteed when I chose this from my Prime Watchlist and it has definitely given me something to think about. It's strange how some people make it and some people don't, and it's not necessarily the ones you'd expect. There is the question of whether the protagonist is actually mentally ill or whether it could be that she's a "sensitive" as there is a lot of evidence of her sensitivity in the film. All of "Life" is encompassed in this movie for All ages. I loved the special effects of her conversations with pictures on her bedroom wall. Also the scrapbooking look in the end title graphics, which evoked warm, feel-good memories. It probably establishes Caitlin Moran as a true Leader of our time, and the book it's based on is the first of a trilogy, the final one of which is not even out yet, excitingly enough!
