Idiosyncratic besties Flic and Minna are a pair of committed overachievers at their stately British boarding school for girls, spending their days playing lacrosse and aspiring to a pitch-perfect Oxbridge-bound future. But surely, thriving at a top university would demand one to be more “worldly”—as in, seasoned in romance. Once our novice wooers decide to practice falling in love with the next random person they see (who’s no other than their fretful geography teacher, Miss Delavigne), Molly Manners’ infinitely witty debut unfolds cheekily around the high-stakes canvas of adolescence with great empathy and a droll sense of humor. Extraordinary newcomers Marni Duggan and Galaxie Clear are instant stars in this winsome coming-of-age tale for the ages, as proudly British as high tea, Shakespeare, and Jane Austen. Timeless and unmistakably authentic in its unique lens into girlhood, Extra Geography is a lasting addition to the growing canon movies about female friendships. —Tomris Laffly
