God Help the Girl

God Help the Girl (2014) is a British musical comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM, written and directed by Stuart Murdoch — the man behind Belle & Sebastian. Eve checks herself out of hospital with a notebook full of songs and a self-esteem that barely clears the floor. One Glasgow summer later, she's part of a loose, improbable trio with posh Cass and fussy James, played by Emily Browning, Hannah Murray and Olly Alexander.

Murdoch shot the film the way he writes records: all pastel light, wry wit and indie-pop that doesn't try too hard. The story isn't about making it — it's about what happens when three slightly lost people decide a terrible idea is worth trying anyway. Charming and deliberately small-scale.
