My Year of Dicks is a hilarious and provocative work of animation thirty years in the making. Icelandic director Sara Gunnarsdóttir is known for her honest, emotional artwork, and creator/writer Pamela Ribon has been telling unusual stories with unusual heroes for a long time. This is an adaptation of her mortifying memoir, which NPR called “brain-breakingly funny.” This teenage heart-stomp manages to put you right back into some of young love’s most relatable, uncomfortable moments with humanity, humor, and heart.
