The movie has human aspects that are refreshing, but borderline cringeworthy, such as the party scenes in particular that perfectly portray those awkward teen years we wish to forget. Sporting a terrible makeover of purple eyeshadow and a midriff-baring top, Stephanie awkwardly wanders around, observing the drunk party revelers and trying hard to fit in. It is here she meets Corey, the older boy that subsequently gets her pregnant, despite departing with the words “I didn’t come.” She naively lets him do as he pleases, which is even harder to watch given that many of us have made such mistakes just to feel desirable.

Stephanie Daley is an intelligent film, made up by the intense bond between Tamblyn and Swinton, that helps convey the overall message of the film: that the female experience bonds all women together.
