Minnie Goetze is a bright and bubbly teenage girl just beginning to experience certain changes within herself. The speed of these changes lead her to record a diary on a cassette tape, detailing her altering life and sense of self after losing her virginity to her mother's dashingly handsome new boyfriend Monroe Rutherford. This feeling of burgeoning adulthood and an obsession with this older man provokes artistic revelations within her, as her passion for drawing develops. This new romance begins a definite sexual awakening, dooming Minnie's mind to nothing but thoughts about boys and sex. Meanwhile, her self-absorbed mother remains naive to Minnie's inner changes, as much as she believes that Minnie is going through something, but can't fathom that they're to do with relationships.

'The Diary Of A Teenage Girl' is a hilarious coming-of-age story based in the 1970s about a girl just beginning to explore her own development into a woman. Based on the graphic novel 'The Diary of a Teenage Girl: An Account in Words and Pictures' by Phoebe Gloeckner, this new movie has been directed and written by Marielle Heller in her filmmaking debut. It is set to be released in the UK on August 7th 2015.
