Reviews

Imagine "High Fidelity" as directed by Jean Luc Godard and you've basically got the gist of A Girl is a Girl...in addition to featuring a soundtrack full of local indie rock, it wears its cool locations like a comfy old sweatshirt, the same way Austin, Texas is intrinsic to Richard Linklater movies.
