About

A preview screening of Big Girls Don't Cry followed by an in-person Q&A with writer/director Paloma Schneideman, hosted by Selina Robertson from Club des Femmes. Over one transformative summer in rural New Zealand in 2006, 14-year-old Sid discovers desire, identity, and the internet as she imitates the people she longs to be loved by.

Critics

8.1Very good

Critics praise the film's tender, naturalistic feel, committed performances from young leads, and authentic chemistry. Some fault familiar coming-of-age beats and occasional weaker writing moments.
