Girl (2018)

Lara is at a stressful time in her life. Her family has just relocated to allow her to attend a prestigious ballet school on a trial basis. In order to stay there, she must learn pointe years after her peers started training, which involves extremely long hours in order to catch up. Adding to the pressure is the fact that she's pre-transition -- figuring out who she wants to be while denying the fact that her body doesn't yet reflect that.

It's a really hard watch. Teenage girls are the worst. And while it's good to see a story with such support (thank God for kind doctors, understanding therapists and truly engaged parents), it's also important to be reminded of how delicate gender reassignment is -- even when you don't have to fight for the right.
