Girl Flu.

About This Movie

Girl Flu is this quirky blend of awkwardness and humor; it really captures the chaos of growing up. You have Bird, a smart tween, trying to deal with the embarrassment of her first period happening in front of her whole class. It’s a peculiar scenario, and the film leans into that cringe comedy vibe, thanks to some offbeat performances from the cast. The mom, who's a bit of a stoner, adds to the weird family dynamic, contrasting Bird’s more grounded approach. It’s not just a coming-of-age story; it tackles themes like motherhood, adolescence, and those messy, uncomfortable moments that define early teenage years. The pacing can be uneven, but that only adds to its charm. You kind of feel like you’re along for the awkward ride with them.
