| Bel Powley |
Marielle Heller's
The Diary of a Teenage Girl was a slight disappointment to me because Heller is unable to match the transgressive tone of Phoebe Gloeckner's graphic novel. The most refreshing moments of the film capture the lysergic and polymorphous nature of Gloeckner's book. What bogs down the narrative drive is Heller's unsteady grasp of the domestic scenes. Kristen Wiig is directed too broadly and Alexander Skarsgard blends into the beige and orange décor. Bel Powley is a wonder and reason enough to see the film. (3/26/16)
