GIRL PICTURE, which premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival and Berlin International Film Festival, is a vibrant, lively film tracking the lives of young women today. Best friends Mimmi and Rönkkö have each other’s backs, always. They want to live adventurous lives, loaded with experiences and passion. Emma, on the contrary, has given her whole life to figure skating. Nothing gets between her and success. But when the girls meet, life opens new paths, and they all rocket in new directions. While Mimmi and Emma experience the earth moving effects of first love, Rönkkö is on a quest to find pleasure.
“A true and tender portrait of female adolescence… an affecting achievement that never feels less than loving.”
–Natalia Winkelman, IndieWire
“A refreshingly grounded portrait of formative femininity that strikes a careful balance between gritty aesthetics and sincere portrayal.”
–Emily Maskell, Little White Lies
“I can never get enough films about female friendship and “Girl Picture” is a top-notch entry into this subgenre.”
