“Support the Girls”
Website / Reviews
Shown recently at Ragtag Cinema, this film follows Lisa Conroy as she finds sisterhood as a manager at a “sports bar with curves.” An incurable den mother, she nurtures and protects her girls fiercely, but over the course of one trying day, her incurable optimism is battered from every direction. Her sports bar sells a big, weird American fantasy, but what happens when reality pokes a bunch of holes in it?

A reimagining of the iconic Australian novel, this series depicts the mysterious disappearances of three schoolgirls and their governess on Valentine’s Day, 1900.
