FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://thatshelf.com/the-starling-girl-review/ "The Starling Girl addresses the impact of religion on young women's lives, particularly tackling how sexuality, love, freedom, and personal identity relate to fundamentalist pedagogy.

Strange how it's often the movies I keep postponing for later because I think they'll be boring that end up being the most enthralling and entertaining.
