Let’s Talk About “Sex” – Mubi Land Molly Manning Walker’s Directorial Un Certain Regard Selected Debut

Date:

Always an encouraging sign when a film gets pre-bought close to a month before its world premiere. This is the case for Molly Manning Walker‘s directorial debut (#162 in our Most Anticipated Films List) which was just acquired by the Mubi folks in multiple territories including North America. How to Have Sex is an Un Certain Regard section selection vying for the Camera d’Or.

Written and directed by Walker, this is a tale about the intricacies of teenage friendship and how we learn to have sex, the pic follows three British teenage girls who go on a rites-of-passage holiday – drinking, clubbing, and hooking up, in what should be the best summer of their lives. This stars Mia McKenna-Bruce, Lara Peake, Shaun Thomas, Samuel Bottomley, Enva Lewis and Laura Ambler.

As we mentioned before, this is an incredible year for Walker – she saw the film she shot as a cinematographer Scrapper play well at the Sundance Film Festival back in January.
