Synopsis
Tall Girl (2019) is a Netflix teen comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM. Director Nzingha Stewart follows Jodi, a sixteen-year-old whose 6'1" frame has made her a walking punchline at her high school — so she spends most of her time slouching, staying invisible and letting her extroverted best friend take the spotlight.
Ava Michelle plays Jodi opposite Sabrina Carpenter as her fiercely loyal friend and Steve Zahn as her well-meaning but bumbling dad. The routine unravels when a tall, charming Swedish exchange student arrives and actually notices Jodi — not as a curiosity, but as someone worth knowing. The problem is she hasn't believed that herself in years.
Released on Netflix in September 2019, the film struck a chord with younger audiences for skipping easy fixes and sitting with the awkwardness of growing into yourself. It was popular enough to launch a direct sequel. Watch Tall Girl online on iFILM.
