  "textContent": "For adults who’ve conveniently blocked out memories of their own teenage angst, director Paloma Schneideman’s _Big Girls Don’t Cry_ may bring all those feelings roaring back—but it’ll also urge you to have a little empathy for the younger version of yourself.\n\nA New Zealand entry in Sundance’s World Cinema Dramatic competition, the film is a sensitive, insightful portrayal of how teenagers struggle to sort out their own mixed motivations while shuttling constantly between big adult feelings and childlike urges.\n\n**(This is one in a series of film reviews from the 2026 Sundance Film Festival, focused on films by women, trans or nonbinary directors that tell compelling stories about the lives of women and girls.)**\n\nThe post Sundance 2026: ‘Big Girls Don’t Cry’ Is an Empathetic, Slice-of-Life Portrait of One Teenage Girl’s Summer appeared first on Ms. Magazine.",
