Shooting Girls

About This Movie

Shooting Girls captures the grit and determination of a middle school soccer team in a small town, struggling against the odds. The film’s atmosphere is layered with a sense of quiet desperation, yet there’s a flicker of hope threaded throughout. You really feel the weight of the girls' passion for their sport, juxtaposed against the lack of support from their school and community. The performances are heartfelt, particularly from the lead, who navigates the pressure of her teammates and the looming exit of their star player. The pacing has a deliberate rhythm, allowing for moments of reflection amidst the chaos of youth sports. It's nice to see a focus on female empowerment in a setting that's usually overlooked in cinema.
