Synopsis

Expulsion, a drunken mother, drug abuse, and an affair with her mom's boyfriend: these are the elements that make up fifteen-year-old Minnie's life as she grows up in the chaos of the 70s.

But Minnie is incredibly bright and self-reflective, and narrates her story in her diary with brutally honest words and drawings.

This acclaimed adaptation of Phoebe Gloeckner's graphic novel sparkles with wit, curiosity, and optimism despite the loneliness and abuse that Minnie encounters.

A poignant look into an ugly adolescence.
