I'd never heard of Bel Powley before I saw her in the wonderful "Carrie Pilby" so I find it hard to believe that "Diary" is only a year older. That being said, this movie is absolutely horrible. I couldn't watch more than fifteen minutes…

Behind all the smoke and mirrors of this Hollywood production is simply a movie about an adult male taking sexual advantage of an immature teen, period. Creepy!

In three successive films Mariel Heller has tackled peculiar approaches to sexuality, livelihood and being human. In 'Can You Every Forgive Me' a has-beenish author who's best received effort was a biography of Dorothy Kilgallen, turns to…

Interesting how a teenager explored her sexuality. Interesting graphics from her diary drawings.

This is one of those coming of age stories that made me reflect on my own life as a teenager I mean I was not around in the 70's but I understood what it means wanting to be desperately loved by someone because your not getting the…

No, Marielle Heller’s screen adaptation of Phoebe Gloeckner’s graphic novel is not a lurid potboiler about statutory rape and ruined lives but rather it traces the journey of one remarkable young woman as she manoeuvres her way through…

I enjoyed the 1970's San Francisco setting. Wardrobe and set were excellent. The relationships between characters were awkward, addiction fueled and juvenile. This is what made for most of the story. It's worth a watch, but not for the…

was not offended by the plot, but from it being a boring movie.

Disgusting and creepy. Also, her fantasies seem much more of the type that adolescent guys have, not girls.

Excellent movie but sad. Especially sad because a very young 15 year old teenage girl, Minnie, grows up fast learning the hard way about sex, drugs and what love means or doesn't mean. And she finds out she's not really able to trust…

Watched this movie to see Alexander Skarsgard, and he was looking fabulous.The movie graphically depicts the sexual awaking of a teenage girl. Her mother is a pretty immature woman, who is raising her daughters while indulging in wild…

Wow, this film really made a great ice-breaker for broaching this topic with my suddenly feral step-daughter... Heh-heh, JUST KIDDING! Seriously, Bel Powley is fantastic and fascinating in the lead role in this frank and funny satire.

it was great to see a female coming of age story but important to remember that this story of sexual awakening takes place in the 1970's. for a good modern day story of a girl's sexual awakening watch the Norwegian film Turn Me On,…

Stellar performances. This flick certainly puts the gross in engrossing. But if you know anyone, who has confused sex for love, then one might appreciate the key message; That your past does not define you, and that it is essential to…

A coming of age/sexual awakening movie that is somewhat unusual in that it focuses on a a female protagonist. Some might be put off by a teenage girl's blooming sexuality, as well as her relationship with a much older man, who is also her…

90 minute movie that feels like it's 3 hours long. I haven't read the much lauded graphic novel that it is based on but I have a feeling that this adaptation doesn't come close to doing it justice. Aimless and dull.
