sad girl review by Sean David Christensen
“I originally saw this arrestingly beautiful short by Dolan Chorng at the Marfa Film Festival in 2017. Captivating in its sharp attention to atmosphere within tightly composed tableaus, sad girl is an eerie comic meditation on teenage longing and burgeoning sexuality.”
