Girlfriends

(Camera)Work: When her best friend and roommate moves out, Susan (Melanie Mayron) has to recalibrate her emotional and professional life. This not only means defending the photographer career she aspires to against her bread-and-butter job photographing bar mitzvahs, but also asserting her independence to roommates and friends. GIRLFRIENDS is a marvel of American independent cinema, a "deeply affecting comic drama focusing on female friendship by the neglected director Claudia Weill." (Vaginal Davis)
