GIRLS ROCK! THE MOVIE Saturday and Sunday
"Battling over band names, lyrical intent, microphone time, musical direction, and loose ideas of artistic merit Amelia is a child who treasures her noise, these budding rock stars are a bewitching bundle of personalities who feel the triumph of every successfully landed riff and the familiar crush of social exclusion. It's a captivating five days inside the core of this exceptional outlet for creativity and expression; a film not just to be commended and enjoyed, but a remarkable camp that should be a requirement for every teen girl out there in dire need of empowerment and focus."
