Inspired by true experiences of grief, girlhood, and growing up, Jessie Barr’s feature debut Sophie Jones provides a stirring portrait of a sixteen year old. Stunned by the untimely death of her mother and struggling with the myriad challenges of teendom, Sophie (played with striking immediacy by the director’s cousin Jessica Barr) tries everything she can to feel something again, while holding herself together, in this sensitive, acutely realized, and utterly relatable coming-of-age story.
Note: when viewing the film, if the subtitles do not automatically show up, look for a little gear icon in the top corner of the screen. If you click that, you should be able to opt in for the subtitles.
