	Girls Town (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The story of three high-school girls who decide to fight back against the insidious sexist violence about them, McKay's film does more than just sensationalize this subject -- it explores it with intensity, authenticity, and intelligence, leaving the questions it probes and raises unresolved and challenging.
		Playing a trio of Hackensack (New Jersey) high-school students, they bring wit and conviction to their lines (Taylor is especially effective, if grating, as an unwed Hispanic mother), but the material has the definite studied air of a workshop about it.
		Similarly, Girls Town gathers from its doubts, missteps, and half-formed thinking not the strength to answer its questions but the power to have them asked.

		The problem from a PR standpoint is that Girls Town doesn't tell an easily summarized fire-and-brimstone story about how our nation's youth have gone to pot--the sort of story that inspires so much op-ed handwringing and film-critic hyperbole.
		In so doing, Girls Town is the most unambiguously feminist American film to come down the pike in quite a while--another reason it might have trouble earning adequate press in some quarters.
		Girls Town (Rated R; 90 min.), directed by Jim McKay, written by McKay, Denise Casano, Anna Grace, Bruklin Harris and Lili Taylor, and starring Taylor, Grace and Harris.

	FILM REVIEW -- Engaging `Girls Town' Transcends Small Flaws
		But ``Girls Town'' is such an achievement in other ways that it seems churlish to get into a snit over minor failings.
		Bruklin Harris' role as Angela, a middle-class fl girl who clashes with her mother, is not as well developed as the others.
		Even more problematic, ``Girls Town'' doesn't make a convincing case for its central assumption -- that the girls' friend committed suicide because she was abused by a man.

		When he wakes up in the morning, the girl is no longer in the elevator with him.
		Of all things, "100 Girls" begins to resemble "What Women Want," wherein a man with sex on the brain begins to see the world from a female perspective and begins to help women.
		However, "100 Girls" is wilder and raunchier than the "Pies" in terms of its brutally in-your-face dialogue.
