GIRL ASLEEP  ★★  

Australian film that seemed to suffer an identity crisis. Couldn’t figure out it if it was a Wes Anderson film, Donnie Darko, or Muriel’s Wedding/Strictly Ballroom. Volume was way up too loud (said the old man) for this session, too. I dunno, it just seemed to be trying too hard, and relying on original techniques that had already been done to tell a story of a girl starting at a new school and the friend she makes there.
