Sad Girlz — Tribeca Review

Fernanda Tovar’s debut feature, Sad Girlz, premiered in the Generation 14plus section of the 76th Berlin International Film Festival, where it won both the Crystal Bear and the Grand Prix of the International Jury for the Best Film in Generation 14Plus. After seeing it, I wouldn’t be surprised if it emerges as one of the standout films of this year’s Tribeca Festival as well. An astonishingly assured debut, Sad Girlz tackles difficult topics with remarkable sensitivity, balancing its heavy themes with a comforting warmth that feels like a hug or a familiar shoulder to cry on.
