With female sexuality onscreen, especially young women's, we're often presented with a binary: Is it exploitative or empowering? Damaging or liberating? Depressing or joyful? The Diary of a Teenage Girl asks why it can't be all of these things and more.

Shocking but genuine, poignant and hilarious, Diary of a Teenage Girl could well become one of the more memorable entries in the Sundance Film Festival's U.S. competition.

You'll be happy to meet the strong, smart -- and yes -- unapologetically horny teenage Minnie and, for two hours, be immersed in her world.

Bless every independent fiber of it being true to its own vigorous heartbeat.
