Everything that matters happens on a Friday night. Not a bright and early Monday morning; not a lazy Sunday afternoon. It’s all about Friday, or so says “Girl Picture,’ at least, in its teenage coming-of-age triptych.
Set across three Fridays featuring the same three adolescent girls, “Girl Picture” is a thoughtful, funny, and empathetic look at lives in flux.
At the center of the film are free-spirited Mimmi (Aamu Milonoff) and loyal Rönkkö (Eleonoora Kauhanen), best friends who also work together after school at their mall’s smoothie stand (featuring fruit-themed punny names, including “It Takes Two to Mango”). There, they dish and waste time.
