A Girl Like Her

A Girl Like Her (2015) is an American drama written and directed by Amy S. Weber — watch it online on iFILM. Jessica Burns has spent her sophomore year being systematically harassed by Avery Keller, one of South Brookdale High's most popular students and her former best friend. Hunter King and Lexi Ainsworth play the two girls, and the film gives both of them room to be complicated.

Shot in a found-footage style — hidden cameras, a documentary crew, community fallout — the film treats bullying as something to be examined, not dramatized. When a shocking event forces everything into the open, the audience sees not just what happened but how it was allowed to happen. Weber directed, produced, and appears on screen herself. Unsentimental, close-range, and harder to shake than most films on the subject. Stream A Girl Like Her (2015) online on iFILM.
