Girls Will Be Girls Movie Review by Sucharita Tyagi - The closest we come to meeting a “bad guy” in Gilrs Will Be Girls is when a group of boys chase Mira back into her hostel on teacher’s day. All the students are cosplaying adults and within a instantly a young pent-up masculine rage comes to the front on the very first day they’ve been given the opportunity to behave like grown men without consequences. As your heart breaks for this 16 year old who has done no wrong, you see her internalize every problem in the structures around her, as somehow being her fault. Should she have not been attractive to Sri? Are teenage sexual urges sinful? Should women not be allowed to be in-charge?
Kani Kusruti is just magic as Anila, a woman jostling to feel wanted and appreciated, while going through the motions of responsibilities she must fulfill. In Shuchi Talati’s observation, Anila succeeds in protecting her daughter by allowing her to see first hand a balanced level of narcissism a woman must possess in order to claim the spaces she wants to occupy.
The tenderness of Shuchi’s gaze towards Mira and Anila is brought to the frame thanks to the film’s Taiwanese cinematographer Jih-E-Peng. When Mira is looks at naked body in a mirror, or practices kissing, or talks on the phone at night, these moment don’t feel blasphemous, shocking or manipulative because of the matter of factness with which they’re shot. It’s a beautiful and skilled coming together of craft and impression.

Girls Will Be Girls follows the journey of 16-year-old Mira, whose sexy, rebellious coming of age is disrupted by her young mother who never got to come of age herself.

Where is that "Women telling women stories" gesture?
I am so glad someone mentioned that not everyone has the best time in school. Some years were absolutely horrible..yes despite the privilege of not being poor and having some form of power. Especially for women ,its not always innocent and sweet nostalgia and a la Kajol singing with a towel dreaming of her Prince Charming.
Love how you are shaping your platform Sucharita! Thoroughly enjoyed your interview with Ali and Richa. Not too many (actually none) other film journalists in India currently covering parallel cinema, so this was so refreshing to see. We see your hard work and investment (in money and time) to atted the festivals over the past year and bring forth these stories.
Lol I’m Team ‘School Memories weren’t just “Yaaron…Dosti” by KK playing in the background’ too.
Where can i watch this movie ??
Sometimes your mind attract bad things which you really not do these things because it's destroy of any precious life.....
Just Avoid it and keep going in good path rather to any wrong path.....
KEEP ONE THING ALWAYS QUESTIONED YOUR MIND TO GOOD OR BAD FOR ANY OF OTHERS.....✨✨✨✨🥺🥺🥺
Sucharita hope you notice my comment! What books do you recommend if anyone wants to speak like the way you speak??!!!
I don’t have any favorite teacher or fond memories as such of high school in fact couldn’t wait to finish and leave
added to the watchlist! would love to know if u have a letterboxd so we can keep up with what you're watching
Really even my school days were atrocious and unmemorable...
Women telling Women Stories!!
Women telling women's stories?
Even during the Richa interview i thought during the review we'll see the dance after quite sometime.
Kya gham Hai jisko Chupa rahe ho...?
From Sucharita doing an iconic recreation of ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Paayo’ to now “as a member of the press at Sundance” and doing a great job with the coverage, we all grew up.
I had to go and look for this iconic video 😅
Same! 😂
Dear sucharita, as a kid who was bullied in the school because the teachers daughter had an issue with me for god knows what reason, the early years have traumatized me to the core. I still have low self esteem. I can totally relate with the horrifying experience in school.
WOMEN TELLING WOMEN STORIES
where can i watch this movie
I went to a school like that where every wrong action of schools boys are brushed under the carpet on the disguise of boys will be boys. I had this class teacher character assassinating young 14 year old girls over the uniform kurta size. She would say boys are gonna misbehave, we as young girls should stay away to be safe. And as a 14 year old I didn't find anything wrong with what she said. I grew up to go to a girls college un Delhi University and every single nonsense i grew up internalising I unlearnt that. I became more confident with my self, my opinions and my body. And I have seen so many girls from my school do that. Every single one of us was morally schooled and made to carry the burden of holding up our respect as a woman. But now all us girls don't care about stuff like that. We learnt that the length of our skirt doesn't reflect our moral grounds. And it never would.
Love you for bringing light to such talents! ❤
Really love your work Sucharita! I have a request, actually. Can you start membership where people can recommend and discuss movies.
interview with preeti???? please!!!
Plz if someone can tell me the name of the song when they dance together in the house. Mira, her mum and Sri dance together. Plz thank u.
You so right about the teenager, whats been shown and what its in real, teacher being totally ignorant might have forget their sane minds at home, behave indifferent to situations, often make them hilarious, mine Schools life was full of those dumbheads, despite the fact they were good teachers but humans may be they were far more pressurised to assess.
Therapy session or effective communication class? Either, always signing up for any of your videos! ❤
In all these years of cinema watching I have realized that the simplest of stories are the most impactful.. ❤
Hope all is well Sucharita.. your energy seems completely off in this one..
