Movie Overview | Girl Picture (2022)

Three young girls at the cusp of womanhood, Mimmi, Rönkkö and Emma, try to defy the persistent winter darkness in Finland by trying to draw their own contours. In the process, they move between dreams, reality, friendship and relationships, and try to make sense of the whole mess. In three consecutive Fridays, two of them experience the earth moving effects of falling in love, while the third goes on a quest to find something she's never experienced before: pleasure.

Caught on the cusp of adolescence and adulthood, the three young women in the film are all different, but face parallel crises related to family, love, sex and ambition.
Through exceptional acting, thoughtful writing and beautiful cinematography, Girl Picture conveys both the outer and inner states of its characters with remarkable clarity and insight. I particularly appreciated that the film didn’t linger over the big picture, commonly represented teen anxieties like coming out or losing one’s virginity. The characters in Girl Picture are secure in their interests and comfortable talking about sex; their concerns run deeper and have greater nuance than we usually see depicted in coming-of-age films.
Almost adults, but still child-like in their profound emotional responses to the world around them, Mimmi, Rönkkö and Emma come off the screen as vital young women just trying to figure out, like anyone, who they are and who they have the potential to become.  
This a nice film, appropriate for teens and young adults.
