not to be reductive, but i don’t particularly care what the men in these letterboxd reviews have to say and i don’t think you should either. this is a film about sexual assault of course, but more accurately it’s a film about tara because most of us, as women and girls, have been tara. we have all had a friend like skye, masking jealousy and insecurity with the phrase “i’m just kidding,” we’ve all felt insecure and isolated in our friendship dynamics, especially when dealing with a trio, we’ve all done something we didn’t want to do.
this film doesn’t reinvent the wheel or “start a new conversation,” but i don’t think it’s trying to or that it has to. tara…
After this film ended , I was in tears and I looked around me and saw every other woman under the age of about 30 was crying too.
It’s frustrating to see some of the early reviews from men who claim it doesn’t start a conversation because you could feel in the room that for many women (who likely know all of these characters in their lives), it did.
Films like this remind of how starved I am of female filmmakers sometimes, so glad I braved the rain for this one.
Shout out badger i hope he killed his friend
quoting jenny zhang: "girlhood is a story of desire; innocence; fall from innocence; being desired; being not desired; being desired by the wrong people; by dangerous people; by the right people; by excitingly dangerous people."

“It’s fine.”
“No, it’s not.”
It has been a long time since I was as moved by a movie as I was with this one, and as soon as I finished it I immediately reached out to many of the women in my life urging them to watch it.
How to Have Sex is a raw portrayal of the vulnerability that comes with being a teenage girl, when you are at an age where everyone around you pressures you to act like the adult you aren’t yet.
Though it pains me to admit it, I think it is almost impossible for any woman to not relate to this heartbreakingly realistic coming-of-age. To the insecurity we desperately tried to hide, the…
Screening was followed up by me and a few girls getting into it with a man who felt the need to debate the logistics of sexual assault on someone who was asleep
This is one of the most brutally accurate depictions of a girl's sexual-coming-of-age I've ever watched. How to Have Sex is atmospheric, horrifically relatable, and riveting from beginning to end. I love the way Molly Manning Walker imbues so much personality and joy into our main character, Tara (depicted immaculately by Mia McKenna-Bruce) - I really came to love her like a friend by the end of the film. The first half of How to Have Sex is so enjoyable and funny, that its emotional beats hit that much harder. Its exploration of teenage rebellion, the lines of consent, and peer pressure could easily dip into the territory of an after-school special, but Walker handles it with such grace, understanding, and style that you're able to truly immerse yourself without being lectured to. All around wonderful, brutal film.
hit like an absolute BRICK the minute the credits rolled
