Auuggh Girlhood was so amazing!

Thankfully Netflix has both ‘Tangerine’ and ‘Girlhood’ available to watch!

I wasn’t sure whether Girlhood counted as 2014 or 2015 to the Academy. It did deserve nods for best actress, supporting actress, foreign and maybe director though. Very good movie that is ridiculously underseen.

Remember, folks, punching someone who thinks Chrisopher Marlowe or the Earl of Oxford wrote the plays is legal in all English speaking countries!
