Beanie Feldstein’s new film, How to Build a Girl, is here courtesy of IFC Films. The film stars Feldstein (Booksmart), as Johanna Morrigan, a bright, quirky 16-year-old who uses her imagination to regularly escape her dull life in Wolverhampton, England, and live out her wildest fantasies.
In an attempt to get away from the flat she shares with her four brothers and eccentric parents, Johanna submits a music review to indie rock critics at a weekly magazine. Despite being initially brushed off, she makes a name for herself in the ’90s rock music scene by taking on the persona of Dolly Wilde, a music critic that obsesses over fame, fortune and men. Despite the success of her newfound career, Johanna’s family becomes skeptical of her sanity as she drastically changes and becomes more rebellious.
Alfie Allen, Paddy Considine, Chris O’Dowd, and Emma Thompson also star in the Coky Giedroyć-directed movie. Caitlin Moran penned the script, which is based on her novel of the same name.
How to Build a Girl will be available on VOD on May 8.
