Movie Reviews of Girlhood
Movie Review: thank you liz garbus---a real gem
Summary: 5 Stars
this is an amazing and touching documentary - i cedit liz garbus for having made this the miracle that it is----- liz garbus has a big heart--she came upon these girls---- while originally exploring an idea about boys in the penal system-- when she visited the home for girls--i call it a home--- because as we find out-- where these two girls were incarcerated-- turned out to be more supportive an environment than their homes or the streets where the girls got into trouble----i wont review the story wherein we come to love these girls and sympathize w their plight---- its a must see doc----- and i heartily recommend listening to the illuminating commentary by ms garbus--- i watched the film then immediately watched it again w her commentary--- it was even more interesting !! kudos to liz for bringing her camera and her heart to the situation wherein she found these two girls--both bravely and hearteningly fighting for a better life for themselves ---i send my blessings and prayers to all concerned and involved in the lives of these and others who are born into circumstances that are so trying----the film deserves the highest praise--- and we are all indebted to liz garbus for bringing this to us ----i truly beleive that what ms garbus has done is much more than just having filmed an illuminating documentary----the attention and love she brought to these proceedings----has had a great impact on these girls----a very positive one----money cant buy this--- it takes caring love and attention----combined w garbus's obvious talents in film producing and directing----we are all in her debt and beneficiaries of her genius----
