Why this pick
Like Girl Picture, it gives first love an immediate, tactile intensity while grounding it in a close female friendship and an openly empathetic coming-of-age perspective.
Why this pick
Its candid, funny and emotionally agile portrait of a young woman testing love, desire and identity matches Girl Picture's brisk intimacy and refusal to judge its characters.
Why this pick
A more restrained but equally honest youth story, carried by the quiet solidarity between two teenage girls and an observant, naturalistic sense of their inner lives.
Why this pick
This warm, visually alert coming-of-age film finds self-definition through a teenage girl's bonds with other young women, balancing vulnerability, humour and unforced feeling.
Why this pick
Its deadpan humour and tender queer adolescent connection echo Girl Picture's clear-eyed approach to sexuality, even as its setting gives the friendships a more defiant charge.
