Following in the groundbreaking tradition of Australian young adult films, Girl Asleep is a wild ride through a teenage girl’s struggle to hold onto her childhood, while everyone in her life seems bent on pushing her into adulthood. First-time feature director Rosemary Myers uses sound, color and vivid imagery — blending traditional narrative and experimental art house styles — to plunge the viewer into this bubbly, pop-culture world of teen confusion and insecurity. You’ll be tapping your toes to the music as you root for Greta to find her own path in this crazy world. ~JS
