Let’s make one thing clear, this isn’t a movie you want to watch with your family or straight-laced friends.

If you happen to be a fan of 1995’s Kids, a snapshot of some troubled teens in New York City, WHITE GIRL might just be right up your alley.

The write-up for the trailer is somewhat to the point:

Summer, New York City. A college girl falls hard for a guy she just met. After a night of partying goes wrong, she goes to wild extremes to get him back. A film by Elizabeth Wood.

A review from Screencrush offers a little more:

There’s little surprise as to where White Girl is headed as things turn increasingly dark and upsetting. But this isn’t a movie about twists, it’s one where the results are clear from the start, where the filmmaker unabashedly exposes the ugly mistakes and vices of her female lead.

[Writer and director Elizabeth] Wood’s script continues to fall deeper down the rabbit hole of its own messy disintegration, never pulling back to rescue us from its brutality or from watching its character’s aggravating choices. Unafraid to expose her character’s weaknesses and degradation, White Girl establishes Wood as a brazen new talent to watch.

You’re about to see a bender that spirals horribly out of control…

I can’t wait for the first time someone confuses this one with White Chicks and rents the wrong movie. Then again, if you’re trying to watch that horrible Wayans Brothers movie you deserve everything that comes your way.
