Engaging and funny, Girlfriends explores female friendships, growing up and growing apart in New York.

Long before Girls and Frances Ha! made the self-referential quarter-life crisis a phenomenon, and made awkward Jewish girls cool, Girlfriends explored the confusion and co-dependency of female friendships with a singular poignancy and humour that is distinctly rooted in its New York setting. 

The film features an incredible performance from Melanie Mayron (who won the bronze leopard at Locarno for the role) as Susan, a struggling photographer whose life is thrown into confusion when her close friend and roommate Anne (Anita Skinner) decides to get married.
