Our take
Boat Rower Girl is the profoundly moving debut feature by young Argentine director Sabrina Blanco. With a cast made up of local, non-professional actors, this bracing festival gem is a personal, delicate study in how to navigate the trials and tribulations of the 21st-century as a growing woman.
