Short description
The journey of Midlands teenager Johanna Morrigan, who reinvents herself as Dolly Wilde: fast-talking, lady sex-adventurer, moves to London, and gets a job as music critic in the hope of saving her poverty stricken family in Wolverhampton. Based on Caitlin Moran's bestselling semi-autobiographical novel.
What's left behind the scenes
- In Irish mythology, the Morrigan is the goddess of war. Her love was rejected by the hero of Irish myths, Cú Chulainn. This is a play on Caitlin Moran's Irish heritage and her surname.
- Beanie Feldstein spent a month in Wolverhampton working on her pronunciation. She even got a job at a local bookstore, where she was not allowed to speak with her usual Californian accent.
- In the scene where Joanna is hired by Face Magazine, you can see Caitlin Moran (the journalist and feminist the film is about). She is walking past the office on the left, talking to a friend.
