Movies by Augustine Frizzell

Augustine Frizzell is a rising star in the world of independent filmmaking, carving out a unique niche with her raw, unflinching depictions of the lives of young women. Her directorial debut, Never Goin' Back (2018), was a breakout hit that garnered critical acclaim for its honest, humorous portrayal of the friendship and misadventures of two high school dropouts. Frizzell's work is defined by a refreshingly authentic voice and a keen eye for the small, intimate moments that shape the human experience. Whether it's the stifling boredom of teenage existence in I Was a Teenage Girl (2014) or the quiet desperation of a woman trapped in a cycle of bad decisions in Minor Setback (2016), her films are marked by a raw emotional honesty and a refusal to shy away from the messiness of life. But Frizzell is not just a chronicler of the downtrodden – her latest projects, including the time-traveling fantasy The Invisible Life of Addie Larue and the Ronda Rousey biopic, demonstrate her versatility and ambition as a storyteller. With each new film, Frizzell continues to push the boundaries of the medium, blending genres and perspectives to craft bold, unforgettable cinematic experiences that linger long after the credits roll.
