Looking at someone else's diary is deeply personal, a bit shocking and charged with the feeling of seeing something for the first time. "The Diary of a Teenage Girl" generates a similar response as it opens the book on adolescent female sexuality with a raw, intimate, emotional candor rarely depicted on screen.
Set in San Francisco in 1976, as the Patty Hearst bank robbery trial plays out on TV and lingering post-hippie vibes mingle with burgeoning punk bluntness, the film opens with 15-year-old Minnie Goetze exclaiming excitedly to her tape recorder diary that she just had sex for the first time. As it turns out, her partner was 35-year-old Monroe, the boyfriend of her mother, Charlotte. As their obviously doomed affair plays itself out, Minnie discovers her artistic voice as an illustrator and a newfound sense of personal self-possession.
