This is one of the weirdest movies I've seen this year. I also have the impression that its one of the least substantial.The "girl" in the title refers to a vampire. She spends her lonely nights punishing the corrupt members of Bad City where she resides killing them my draining them of blood, as most vampires would. What sets her apart from most vampires in most other movies is her fascination with music from her vinyl record collection as well as her fixation on only seeming to want to wipe out the bad people of her society. In other words, she's picky.
Her loneliness is possibly remedied by the arrival of a young man into her life who could be a potential love interest. They share a love of music and a certain existential isolation.
I liked the stark, black and white cinematography, the acting and the soundtrack. But the story is lacking in substance and interest. Not much groundbreaking territory is ventured into. This is just another one of the many vampire films to come along in recent years that don't breathe much life into the genre.
