My Year of Dicks
Directed by Sara Gunnarsdóttir
United States | 25 minutes | 2022
Hilarious and genre-mashing, an imaginative fifteen year-old is stubbornly determined to lose her virginity despite the pathetic pickings in the outskirts of Houston in the early 90s. This charming, animated, retro-romantic-comedy pulls no punches with its female-forward look at sexual awakening. Created by Pamela Ribon from her critically-acclaimed memoir.
It's 1991 and Pam is trying very hard to lose her virginity, but it sure doesn't match up to her fantasies. Always searching for her ultimate paramour, this old soul swimming in new puberty will struggle between the real world and her grandiose fantasies by exploring a relatable variety of boys of yore–goths, skaters, indie film snobs, straight edge posers–all while trying her best to avoid being grounded. Luckily she has her best friends by her side, who'd like to keep her from cementing a mistake. This charming, animated, retro-romantic-comedy pulls no punches with its female-forward look at sexual awakening. Created by Pamela Ribon from her critically-acclaimed memoir.
