Exploring Consent and Devastating Consequences in 'How to Have Sex': A Cannes Breakout

How to Have Sex, a debut film by Molly Manning Walker, follows three British teenage girls on a summer trip to Greece. The girls are determined to party and have sex with as many people as possible before university, but the stakes are higher than they realize. The film explores the challenges of female friendship and the devastating aftermath of sexual assault. Mia McKenna Bruce delivers a powerful portrayal of a young woman grappling with the reality of her assault, dialing back Tara’s energy so that we can feel the character withdraw the more she remembers.
