The Diary Of A Teenage Girl (2015)

The Diary of a Teenage Girl is a 2015 coming-of-age drama set in 1970s San Francisco, adapted from Phoebe Gloeckner's graphic novel and built around a teenager's blunt, unromanticized sexual awakening. Alexander Skarsgard plays her mother's boyfriend, a role that pushed him into some of the most exposed territory of his career, and the site carries 5 scenes pulled from that thread of the film. The clips catch him in sex scenes and stripped-down encounters that hold nothing back, matching the movie's reputation for refusing to soften its subject. It's a small, unflinching indie that earned real critical respect for staring down material most films dodge entirely.
