The film ‘Girls Like Girls’ is a coming-of-age story about two teenage girls, Coley and Sonya, who fall in love over the course of a summer. The movie is set in rural Oregon and follows the girls as they navigate their feelings for each other.
A Charming Debut
First-time writer/director Haley Kiyoko has been working on ‘Girls Like Girls’ for roughly 10 years. The film is based on her debut novel, which is in turn based on a song of the same name. Kiyoko’s visual style is clear in the film, which has a charming, indie feel to it.
The film’s leads, Maya da Costa and Myra Molloy, have wonderful chemistry, and their performances are bolstered by the film’s sweetness. The movie does stumble at times, particularly in its dialogue and pacing, but it is a charming debut with a lot of heart.
