"If David Lynch imagined an encounter between Red Riding Hood and Mean Girls' plastics on the way to Napoleon Dynamite's house, it might turn out something like Girl Asleep." - Daily Telegraph
"Plays like the love child of Jane Campion and Guy Maddin, an otherworldly quinceañera that celebrates female rites of passage and the hallucinatory power of film." - Village Voice
"This assured debut tells us teenage girls can – and will – save themselves." - The Guardian
"Wall-to-wall quirky, frequently very funny, and occasionally hints at the actual horror of being an adolescent girl in a pretty compelling way." - Paste
The world is closing in on Greta Driscoll. On the cusp of turning fifteen she can't bear to leave her childhood, it contains all the things that give her comfort in this incomprehensible new world. She floats in a bubble of loserdom with her only friend Elliott, until her parents throw her a surprise 15th birthday party and she's flung into a parallel place; a world that's weirdly erotic, a little bit violent and thoroughly ludicrous - only there can she find herself. Australian. PG-13. 77 mins.
