It’s 1993, and there’s only one way for a curvy, bright, funny, working-class sixteen year old to break out of her tiny, crowded house in Wolverhampton, and go on the somehow noble sex-quest she desires – to reinvent herself as swashbuckling, top-hat-wearing rock critic Dolly Wilde, and explode all over London. The only question is – was Dolly Wilde the right girl to build?
HOW TO BUILD A GIRL stars an array of talent, featuring Beanie Feldstein (Booksmart), Alfie Allen (Game of Thrones), Paddy Considine (Journeyman), Chris O’Dowd (Bridesmaids), Emma Thompson (Sense & Sensibility), Sarah Solemani (Bridget Jones’s Baby), Laurie Kynaston (England Is Mine), Joanna Scanlan (Pin Cushion), Arinzé Kene (The Pass), Frank Dillane (In the Heart of the Sea), Tadhg Murphy (Guerrilla) and Ziggy Heath (Spies of Warsaw).
The film is directed by British director Coky Giedroyć (Harlots), written by Caitlin Moran, based on her beloved number one Sunday Times bestseller of the same name, and produced by Alison Owen (Me Before You) and Debra Hayward (Bridget Jones’s Baby).
