Miss Taurus, directed by Graeme Wood, is a fascinating slice-of-life drama that captures the essence of 1972 with its unique vibe. The film delves into the tumultuous world of adolescence and the awkwardness that comes with it, set against the backdrop of a small coastal town. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to really soak in the atmosphere, which is tinged with a sense of longing and unease. Performances are raw, and there’s a real feeling of desperation and confusion in Violet’s journey. It’s not flashy, but that’s what makes it stand out; it’s all about the subtleties of teen angst, captured beautifully through practical effects and evocative cinematography. It’s a tough watch at times, but really worth exploring for those who appreciate the grittier side of coming-of-age stories.
