With dreamy-hazy lighting and finessed handheld lensing, All This Panic viscerally captures all the yearning and uncertainty of its intimate coming-of-age story.

Director Jenny Gage spent three years shooting seven amazingly articulate Brooklyn teenage girls, following them as they lose and find themselves, experiment with drugs and love, and struggle with school and career aspirations. Some take a detour into partying and self-harm (check out the hands-off parenting); others define themselves and flourish once they hit university. A luminous, heady portrait of urban girlhood and the pressures that face young women today.
