55.) Diary of a Teenager Girl [8/29/2015]

This  film, a sort of Lolita-meets-Juno exploration of the sexual awakening of a teenager from the perspective of a girl in love with her mother's boyfriend (20-year age gap notwithstanding), refreshingly opted for an honest look at all the confusion and excitement that comes at such a time for a young woman (I assume, not being a woman and all) as opposed to a preachy stance; like Lolita, the main character was a child, and there were several explicitly sexual parts in the movie that were really unsettling keeping that in mind, but I like movies that can generate an emotional response, including discomfort, and realize that this movie might not be for everyone.
