It Girl

6F 4M - Full Length - 135 min

2002. Did you hear she relapsed last night? That she crashed her car and came to set high? That she caused a huge scene, like massive breakdown, so embarrassing, a horrible influence, awful to work with, all her co-stars hate her, immature, entitled, exactly what’s wrong with this industry? 2022. Have you realized you were part of the problem? Are you brave enough to hold yourself accountable? Isn't her story so powerful? Don’t you think it could help us heal? A searing and bitingly funny portrait of Hollywood across the last two decades, It Girl examines what it means to be a woman in entertainment, how things have changed, and how they haven’t.
