How to Be a Girl - Film Adaptation

[beautyfindsrefuge]

Here in the United States, the film adaptation of Caitlin Moran's How to Build a Girl (put the wrong title in the thread name, sorry) began streaming yesterday ($5.99 on Amazon). In addition to a Manics show being a major plot point in the film, the movie is chock full of other Manics references. There are several just in the trailer alone:

Minor spoilers below:

The main character, Johanna, has her musical awakening at a Manics show in Birmingham. The film got the rights to You Love Us. There are actors portraying James, Nicky, and Richey on stage.

There are also multiple photos of the Manics sprinkled throughout the film, song lyrics as dialogue, and another main character - a rock star Johanna falls in love with - speaks at length about his childhood in Blackwood.

The movie itself is cute, and you'd like it if you're into feel-good girl-power coming-of-age stuff.
