Well Alan Ball (creator of one of the best TV shows ever, Six Feet Under) is back with this feature film. Confronting, shocking and so funny you almost piss yourself, how can all this be in one film? Well get off you clacker and go see it.
It has a limited release but is definitely worth a look in.
How can one man portray American Suburbia in such an entertaining light time after time?
Towelhead revolves around a young Lebanese girl and her battles hitting puberty and leaving her mother to live with her extremely strict father. Their relationship is so intense you just want to hit him!
Toni Collette is also in the mix for good measure (love you Toni!) and the film definitely goes to places most films wouldn't touch with a ten meter tampon (see the film, you see a few tampons!).
Towelhead is one of my favourite films of 08, it rates 4 and three quarter stars.
