Partly shot in Eastbourne, this noughties classic captures the rollercoaster agonies and ecstasies of adolescence, but above all, the push-and-pull of teen friendships. On the verge of turning 15, Georgia sets her sights on the new guy at school, “gorgeous sex-god” Robbie, band member of the Stiff Dylans. Millennial cult favourite, this coming-of-age film is funny, perceptive and very, very English.
