GIRLS TOWN is another gritty and vulgar look at adolescent matters based on society's true and controversial problems, and it does not intend to be humorous. Shot in a documentary style like other recent independent movies, it provides a crude edge to build up its harsh reality, and the acting performances are too real from amateurish. Much is kept simple and basic enough to create a strong view of the world today. Other highly acclaimed docu-dramas like KIDS and ALL OVER ME involve a similar formula, only with different and serious issues facing the Generation X gap. Lili Taylor has the chance to blast into Hollywood stardom before too long, and you can tell by her vivid personality in this one. Before viewing GIRLS TOWN, I had numerous flashbacks of my past experiences prior to and during high school, and the end result is that we're not immune from a troubled, depraved society. Here's one movie that you will never get out of your chair! It's something we all have to regret! Another strong recommendation from yours truly.
