This week, two movies of different budgets and nations look at what it means to be a young woman. Should we be surprised that the small-budget movie from Norway has more to say about growing up than the big budget Hollywood product?

A bunch of skateboarders ride past Terri (Jacob Wysocki), an overweight teen standing glumly by the side of the road, and one compliments his comfort-driven fashion sense: “Nice pajamas, man.” Terri cracks a little smile. He still feels like an outcast, but at least he’s found someone who grants him fleeting acceptance. Even if the person praising his sartorial choices is himself an outsider as well. Moments like this abound in Azazel Jacobs’ Terri, keeping just to the realistic side of quirk, and finding moments of small revelation in subtle gestures.
