Excision (2012) // CUMMING-OF-AGE

Welcome back Tainted Lovers, it's time to revert back to those confusing teenage years as we discuss Excision directed by Richard Bates Jr. While discussing sexual & romantic topics, coming-of-age is an important sub-genre to tackle! Zobo & Daddy profile Pauline; a brilliantly flawed character that wants to embrace her true self, but is constantly let down by the adults around her. We discuss losing our virginities, complicated relationships with your parentsmother-daughter relationships, and sex on your period among other topics. Enjoy!
