Film Description: "With incisive storytelling, pathos, and humour, Fitting In is the semi-autobiographical tale of a teenage girl grappling with a rare health diagnosis. [...] Maddie Ziegler stars as Lindy, who has moved into her grandmother's old house with her single mom Rita (Emily Hampshire) and is in the early days of deciding to have sex with her boyfriend Adam (Reservation Dogs star D'Pharoah Woon-A-Tai). She is brought to the doctor's office to get a prescription for birth control. One physical exam later, a cold and unfeeling male gynecologist delivers news that will turn Lindy's world upside down. She is diagnosed with the rare reproductive abnormality called Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome, which means she doesn't have a uterus or cervix and has a shortened vaginal canal. While other high school kids are competing in sports, dating, having sex, and going to parties, Lindy is spiralling and pushing away all her previous sources of trust and comfort, like Adam, her best friend, and her starring track and field spot. In its portrayal of Lindy learning how to confront her new health reality, Fitting In tells a story about bodily autonomy with laughter, angst, and authenticity." -- Kelly Boutsalis (source) |
