There is a distinct lack of movies that contain strong female relationships. Of course there are more now than when I was younger, but there is not nearly enough films that depict female friendships in a semi-realistic way. Last night, I watched "Crossroads" on Netflix. "Crossroads" is a film that came out in 2002 and it stars Britney Spears. Automatically, you might want to discredit this movie because it has a popstar in it. However, if you haven't seen this, you are severely lacking in your knowledge of film.

The movie follows the rekindling of a friendship between three girls who are at very different stages in life but were once very close friends. Britney plays Lucy, the main character who has done everything she was supposed to do but has yet to find any fulfillment in her life so far. She and two other girls take a road trip to Los Angeles where she plans to meet her mother who left when she was three. Each of the girls go through a series of mistakes and learning experiences that change them as people.

If you have yet to see this movie, you can watch it on Netflix right now. You should go do that immediately. Be prepared to experience a ton of flashbacks.

catch you later,
