Gregory’s Girl

As a teenager, watching Gregory's Girl can be a rollercoaster of emotions. It perfectly captures the vulnerability, awkwardness, and hopelessness that define those tumultuous years. But beyond that, it shatters any illusion that your experience is unique or special. Set in Cumbernauld, Scotland – where the accents were famously dubbed for American audiences – Bill Forsyth's masterpiece is a beautiful blend of romantic yearning and football strategy.
