We end on a positive note with Girl Picture, a sort of coming of age movie from Finland. It features three teenage girls who exploring their feelings about love and sex. Two of the girls, Mimmi and Emma, form a new romance with each other without the knowledge of their parents, while the third, Ronkko, is checking out the teen parties in search of satisfying sex. I thought it was a positive portrayal of female relationships where the girls do not depend on the approval of males and are not in threatening situations that are common in so many teen movies. The three actresses in the lead roles has admirable performances.
