Blu-ray Review – Inbetween Girl

Writer/director Mei Makino makes a strong helming debut with "Inbetween Girl," examining the turbulent life of a teenager caught up in trouble when it comes to love, family, and sex. It follows recent dives into the adolescent heart, including "Eighth Grade" and "Edge of Seventeen," with Makino committed to providing an honest examination of the female experience, with the main character handling the pressures of home and hallway interactions with a thin grasp on her emotional health. "Inbetween Girl" is intimate and humane, and it's also absolutely wonderful, with Makino making an effort to create a layered, knowing study of deep feelings without giving into the temptation of melodrama.
