Reminiscent of Kids, Bellyfruit is inspired by real life stories of teen mothers living in urban Los Angeles. It interweaves the lives and loves of three teenage girls into a fast paced, feature length drama with hip hip, R&B, funk and techno-rave soundtrack, Bellyfruit is strikingly honest about teenage sexuality, an unexpected ride through todays youth culture featuring exceptionally talented young actors. ""hard-hitting"" -Boston Globe
Reviews for Bellyfruit
Although the performances are astounding, the dialogue comes across as a little too stylized.
