Courtesy of ThePlaylist, we have the first stills from Marielle Heller’s coming-of-age tale, one of the breakout hits of this year’s Sundance Film Festival.
Based on Phoebe Gloeckner’s critically acclaimed graphic novel of the same name, THE DIARY OF A TEENAGE GIRL recounts the coming-of-age adventures of Minnie Goetze (Powley), a San Francisco teenager growing up in the counterculture haze of the 1970s. Lonely and artistic, Minnie chronicles her trials through expressive drawings and painfully honest missives confided to a tape recorder. One fateful evening alone with her mother’s (Wiig) boyfriend (Skarsgård), Minnie is confronted with her burgeoning sexuality for the first time, and suddenly this precocious teen is in way over her head.
