A portrait of Shelly Brown, a 23 year-old alienated urban misfit released from a psychiatric hospital. Shot in a variety of styles and formats, it mixes non-actors with professionals, verité with staging, to paint a picture of a contemporary rebel.

Alive with the ramshackle abandon of its antiheroine, Ry Russo-Young’s sophomore film spins amid the circus that was womanhood in the 2000s indie scene. Greta Gerwig and The Virgins come along for the ride—but this is all about Stella Schnabel, whose raw and raging lead performance is unforgettable.
