about
growing up. It looks at the trials and pitfalls
of adolescence that can occur when moral support
is lacking for a young teenager. The film follows
Alicia, a shy and mild mannered girl who moves
to a new school, only to be seduced by the wild
and dangerous ways of a few of her peers. Her
problems with her parents and sister send her
right into the arms of Milena, another troubled
teen who sells her body to men for new clothes
and cell phones without any qualms. Soon enough,
Milena has Alicia following in her footsteps,
and we unfortunately watch as Alicia's youthful
innocence is stripped from her. Partly a criticism
of today's materialistic youth culture, Mall Girls
examines the interplay between lacking familial
values and grotesque consumerism. Roslaniec introduces
us to a world where these girls look for any sort
of sensation just to forget about their own loneliness.
