Parent Review
I really loved this movie and the message of how to deal with that pesky insecure voice inside of your head. I think it is perfect for teens ages 13 and up. My daughter was able to relate on many levels. I think it is so important to peel back the popularity curtain, because chances are even those who appear confident are dealing with some massive insecurities. Sometimes even when you get what you thought you wanted, life still has a way of causing you to second guess yourself and allowing doubt to creep back in. Tall Girl 2 continues with a beautiful story about towering above your insecurities and knowing your true self worth.
Tall Girl 2 is now streaming on Netflix!
