STARTING OCTOBER 3rd

GOD HELP THE GIRL

Dir. Stuart Murdoch, UK, 2014, 111 min., English

A Charming Indie Pop Musical from Belle & Sebastian!

“Stuart Murdoch’s story of three Scottish misfits who start a band is rife with the kind of giddy thrills and hormonal flushes you associate with being a teen.”

– David Fear, Esquire Magazine


“The sheer earnestness and unassuming glee of the film manage to pull off what contemporary musicals have been unable to do lately: evoke pure joy and enthrallment.”

– Kyle Turner, Under The Radar


“Browning captures Eve’s weariness and enthusiasm, and her lovely voice and crisp delivery gives Murdoch’s labored lyrics a vulnerable immediacy.”

– Serena Donadoni, Village Voice


“As Marmite-y as Stuart Murdoch’s music, you’ll find it either winningly charming or irritatingly fey. Either way, its warmth shines through.”

– Ian Freer, Empire Magazine


“God Help the Girl is extremely twee. It gives you every reason to hate it, and yet, despite its affectations, it is also pretty wonderful.”

– Bruce Handy, Vanity Fair


In God Help the Girl, writer/director Stuart Murdoch creates a poignant coming-of-age story that doubles as a sublime indie-pop musical from one of indie pop’s biggest songwriters.

The project began as a suite of songs, written while Murdoch was between records and tours as lead singer of Belle & Sebastian. He nurtured it for nearly a decade into a fully formed film, set in the bohemian fantasia of Glasgow’s West End, which is populated by mods, rockers, and emo kids who have no qualms about breaking into song and dance.
