Little Trouble Girls

AroView: A coming-of-age story from Slovenia set in a Catholic girls’ college of music, produced to the same exacting standards demanded of the young choristers.

Yet the glorious music is secondary to the inner journey of an impressionable and intelligent 16-year-old who is also flush with curiosity about potential relationships that each beckon ‘trouble’. Like the best of this genre, it commands your full attention and leaves you yearning for a character who has so many life choices to make ahead of them, while the same could be said for the promise of actress Jara Sofija Ostan in a note-perfect debut performance.

“An utterly absorbing and outstandingly acted film.” ~Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

“With superb performances across the board…, Djukić has conjured an alluring fusion of spiritual awakening and adolescent confusion.” ~Sheri Linden, The Hollywood Reporter

“This is a striking statement of intent from its Slovenian writer-director — there’s an airy delicacy here that invites comparisons to early Céline Sciamma, but with its own raw, restless edge.” ~Guy Lodge, Variety
