Editorial Reviews

Entering their teens, Ana, Sherri, and Rachel have strong ideas about who they are and what they believe. Over a period of three years, the girls' youthful views change and develop as they navigate increasing peer pressures, emerging desires, and family expectations. Told exclusively in their own voices, In My Room captures the complex process of these three girls discovering their identities and then learning to stay true to them.

This film is a remarkably honest and compelling journey into the minds and lives of teenage girls. It'll stay with you forever. It's beautiful, poignant and memorable. Anyone who has, knows or is a teenage girl should see this film.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, sobering and finally, uplifting, February 17, 2008

By 

Ellen (Portland, OR USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: In My Room: The Inner Life of Teen Girls (DVD)

I watched this film with my 14 year old daughter, and it was sobering for us both to look into the lives of girls who are dealing with some very difficult issues. While the girls were faced with some particularly challenging issues, in general they were navigating emotions, insecurities and developmental landmarks that are universal for all young women. We both loved how beautifully this documentary was created. The still photographs mixed with voices in the background were especially engaging. We enjoyed getting to know the girls, and watching them grow strong and we were both moved to tears by the songs and poem at the end. I highly recommend this film and congratulate filmmaker Brijetta Hall on the her ability to elicit such open and honest reflections on life from her subjects, and her artistry in introducing them to us.

5.0 out of 5 stars in my room, January 15, 2008

This review is from: In My Room: The Inner Life of Teen Girls (DVD)

this poignant and probing documentary provides a unique look into the lives of three average american adolescents. it is fascinating to be reminded of the seemingly unimportant issues--as viewed from an adult perspective--that dominate the lives of teenagers. ms hall has produced a remarkably focused insite into the hopes, aspirations and at times despair of girls transitioning through the most difficult stage of human development. i doubt she could have achieved such honesty and openness from boys of the same age. i highly recommend this documentary to parents, educators and anyone else who is in close contact with girls coming of age. but most of all i recommend this work to all girls of similar age if no other reason then to know that they are not alone.
