Girl Asleep

About This Movie

So, 'Girl Asleep' is this really interesting mix of comedy, drama, and a bit of fantasy, directed by Rosemary Myers. It’s all about Greta, who’s on the edge of turning fifteen, and the pressures that come with it. The film captures that awkward phase of life really well, you know? There’s a heavy sense of nostalgia and discomfort as she grapples with her changing world. The use of practical effects to create her imaginative escapades is particularly charming, adding a unique layer to the storytelling. The pacing has this dreamy, surreal quality that complements the theme of growing up and the bittersweet nature of leaving childhood behind. Greta's relationship with Elliott feels genuine, a nice anchor in her whirlwind of emotions.
