The 15 Best Girlhood Movies About Being a Teenage Girl According to Whatnerd

"The struggles of girlhood are surprisingly universal across the world and across time periods, whether we're talking the 1800s or modern-day society, whether we're in America or Europe or Asia or elsewhere. Yet despite those shared experiences, it's also true that the experiences of being a teenage girl can be vastly varied. There's so much depth and complexity to explore, which cinema helps us to do. Here are my picks for the best movies focused on girlhood, from chick flicks to period dramas, with particular interest in filmmakers like Sofia Coppola and Greta Gerwig, who champion this feminine subgenre to capture what it's actually like to be a teenage girl." - whatnerd.com
