Molly's Girl (2012)
Forget your expectations this charming, touching and hilarious movie
Before you watch this movie, I urge you to eschew any trailers and press. The plot moves in a lifelike manner never giving you what you expect, but never making a move that doesn't make sense in retrospect. Even in the first 15 minutes you will get an impression of where it is going, but you will likely be wrong. The central question that the movie hangs on is "Who are you fighting?". Mercedes quest to figure out the answer to that question will take you on emotional highs and lows as the characters struggle with identity, politics and morality. Kristina Valada-Viars's performance as Molly is striking and believable, wearing a mask of lies over a past of so much hurt. Even characters like her mother hide great depth beneath their masks and the parts that they play in society. The acting and writing will not disappoint.
