The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls in Love
Presented by the UCLA Film & Television Archive.
Part of the UCLA Film & Television Archive screening series Archive Treasures. Learn more at cinema.ucla.edu.
Celebrating its 30th anniversary of release on June 16, 2025, this tender, offbeat teen romance continues to defy expectations with humor and heart. Randy, a rebellious tomboy from a working-class background, falls for Evie, a wealthy, popular girl, in a love story full of sweetness, self-discovery and the recitation of Walt Whitman verse. Maria Maggenti’s indie gem, with its raw charm and unpolished energy, captures first love’s exhilaration and awkwardness, offering a refreshingly joyful take on queer coming-of-age.
35mm, color, 94 min. Director/Screenwriter: Maria Maggenti. With: Laurel Holloman, Nicole Ari Parker, Maggie Moore, Dale Dickey.
