Set in Brixton South London, Top Girl is Rebecca Johnson’s vivid ode to adolescence. Utilising a cast with no prior acting experience; Rebecca evokes nostalgia and authenticity with ease through the use of drama workshops organised within the local community. Top Girl’s dialogue is as a result accurate, witty and unpretentious. The dialogue is mirrored skilfully by playful cinematography that generates feelings of intimacy as we accompany bestfriends Donna and Felicia on their tumultuous journey. Top Girl is a candid coming of age story that delicately balances the constant threats of danger with the enduring message of sisterhood and joyful exuberance of youth.
