The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day (2009)

This Japanese Anime movie is about Kanna, a young girl who sets on a quest across Japan to discover her true identity.

"First Day" is a trans kid slice-of-life tv show that brings desperately needed diversity to coming-of-age stories in mainstream media. Here's a show that get's it right by having a trans actress in a story centered on trans girlhood.

A young girl who is determined to sail the ocean within 210 days at sea brings an adventurous story for viewers.

A short film that begins with the language of romance but slowly reveals something far more unsettling beneath the surface.

An animated short film that never gets old, especially with iconic characters from the Disney series.

Despite its glaring flaws, First Girl I Loved is not entirely undeserving of a watch. For people who can handle the more difficult aspects of the story and graphic scenes, it is worth looking into. It’s not a film worthy of rewatch, but it may still resonate somewhat with those who need a story like this. It is a genuine, if flimsy attempt at a coming-of-age tale. Were the film to be directed by someone with experiences more similar to Anne, it would likely be more powerful--as it is, it feels like a man’s perspective of what it means to come to terms with your identity as a lesbian.
