Synopsis
Girl in Progress (2012) is a US comedy-drama from director Patricia Riggen, ready to watch online on iFILM. Single mom Grace is buried under work, unpaid bills and an affair with a married doctor — and her teenage daughter Ansiedad keeps slipping down the list.
Fed up and inspired by the coming-of-age novels she's assigned in English class, Ansiedad decides to fast-track her own adolescence: pick a fight with Mom, check off the required rebellion, and graduate to a life without her. Her loyal friend Tavita signs on to help a plan that starts falling apart almost at once.
Eva Mendes and a young Cierra Ramirez play a mother and daughter learning to hear each other without a syllabus, backed by Patricia Arquette, Matthew Modine and Eugenio Derbez. It's a light film with a real point underneath: nobody grows up on schedule. Stream Girl in Progress online on iFILM.
