Beanie Feldstein stars
brings to life Johanna’s small but imaginative slice of the world with a touch of magical realism. Moran adapted her own book for the screenplay and maintains her signature voice, both in Johanna’s narration and in her writing, which becomes her calling card to venture out into the wider world.
Imagine if “Almost Famous” had been about a teenage girl from a poor but loving family living on a council estate in Wolverhampton, and you’ll get something like “How to Build a Girl,” though Johanna is far more brash, reckless and colorful than William Miller.
This sincerely felt and utterly effervescent coming-of-age tale expresses a universal truth about being alive: that hopefully you’ll have the chance, and the awareness, to make and remake yourself again and again, dusting off the old bricks and forming them into something familiar but new.
