A GIRL LIKE GRACE Trailer
This is one intense trailer for an intense-looking movie. A Girl Like Grace tells the story of a severely bullied 17-year-old girl raised by a single mother in a toxic environment, who seeks guidance from her best friend and her older sister, who look to lead her into even more toxic situations than she was already in. A Girl Like Grace deals with themes like drug abuse, violence, the exploration of sexual boundaries, and suicide, and is set in a mostly black high school. It’s been compared to Thirteen (which to me was like a young adult Requiem for a Dream) – and from the looks of the trailer, that comparison may not be too far off .
A Girl Like Grace is directed by Ty Hodges and stars Ryan Destiny as Grace. It was screened at the LA Film Festival in June this year, though there are no release dates scheduled. However, it’s available on Vimeo OnDemand!
