Lacking confidence and unsure of exactly what to do, Gregory sets out to win the heart of Dee, a classmate who unfortunately is much better at soccer than he is. Scottish director Bill Forsyth (LOCAL HERO) imbues this small, heartfelt, and singularly quirky tale of adolescent longing with an astoundingly generous dose of sensitivity and true-to-life heart.

Reviews for Gregory's Girl
The film has fresh, no-nonsense performances and a script so rooted in truth that it seems to have materialized not been written.
A funny and touching teen romance from Scottish director Bill Forsyth.
Much of the pic's peculiar fascination comes from tangential scenes, limning each character's odd obsession, be it food, girls, soccer, or just watching the traffic drive by.
Maybe only grown-ups should see this movie. You know, people who have gotten over the pains of unrequited love (hollow laugh).
It floats effortlessly over its landscape, seeing all from a marvelously cockeyed perspective all its own.
A revealing and credible portrait of adolescence that captures all the confusion, yearning, and terrors of adolescents trying to cope with their ambivalent desires.
It's hard to warm to a film as intentionally slight and safe as this.
