![]() ![]() Each of the film’s five chapters stars a different “dick,” and is told in a different narrative style, including anime, vampire romance, and pure horror, all featuring quasi-rotoscoped versions of “Pam” (physically embodied by Ribon, with a vocal performance by Brie Tilton). Adapted by creator Pamela Ribon from her 2014 memoir, Notes To Boys, and directed by Sara Gunnarsdóttir (the first Icelandic female filmmaker ever to be nominated for an Oscar), it’s the emotionally vulnerable story of a teen girl in the outskirts of Houston in the early ’90s, vacillating between her resolution to have sex and realizing that the opportunities presented to her aren’t quite right. Anyone who does look up the film and watch it-which you can, for free, on Vimeo-will find that while the phallic title is descriptive of the material, it’s less Sausage Party than a slightly older and animated take on A24’s acclaimed coming-of-age indie Eighth Grade. ![]()
