Fitting In (II) (2023) User Reviews

Dealing With A Medical Condition

[stevendbeard · 6/10 · 5 February 2024]

I saw Fitting In, starring Maddie Ziegler-West Side Story_2021, The Fallout; Emily Hampshire-Schitt's Creek_tv, 12 Monkeys_tv; Djouliet Amara-Superman & Lois_tv, Honey Girls and D'Pharaoh Woon_A_Tai-Reservation Dogs_tv, Beans.

This is a movie about a teen aged girl with a medical problem and how she deals with it. Maddie is the teen that finds out that her vajaja is not fully formed-she is 17 and has never had a period. With this reproductive condition, she probably never will have one or even be able to have children. Emily is her mother that tries to comfort her and Djouliet is her best friend. To make things more difficult, Maddie is at that age of exploring her feminine side and D'Pharaoh-her boyfriend-is not making it any easier. Maddie is consulting with doctors and trying different therapies, including abstaining from having sex, drinking alcohol or anything else most teens usually participate in.

It's rated R for language, drug use, drinking and sexual content-all involving teens-and has a running time of 1 hour & 45 minutes.

It's not one that I would buy on DVD but it would be alright to stream.

Great acting and difficult topic

Fitting in is a great movie about a girl ( by Maddie Ziegler) who just got the news she has a medical condition that complicates her sexual life. It is a serious topic and the actress Maddie Ziegler approaches it with great maturity. She is able to express wonderfully well all of the distress her character was in. There are a couple of scenes I really loved and show her amazing facial expressions, when she is in the doctors office and they bring in 3 residents, when she is in the MRI, and when she is using the dilators.

The movie has such a female perspective with all of the scenes about sex, the female characters are never sexualized, it is always about the pleasure or discomfort and never about the bodies, it is done in a very tasteful way.

It could have been very easy for the scenes about the dilators or masturbation to be obscene, but they are not, there is a vibe of respect for the whole situation lindy is facing that I really love.
