Derry Girls’ Michelle - Rise of a Brash & Rowdy Alpha
Get a full month of MUBI FOR FREE: https://mubi.com/thetake
Derry Girls’ Michelle Mallon is the quintessential alpha girl – but how real is that act? When we’ve seen alpha girl characters onscreen before, they’re often cast as mean girls – master manipulators, school bullies, or just kind of annoyingly assertive. Initially Michelle could come across that way, too. But Derry Girls goes deeper into the alpha girl’s psychology to ask why they’re so determined to be the leader of the pack. Michelle is genuinely brimming with confidence and loves leading the others on pleasure-seeking adventures. At the same time, her brash exterior is also a coping mechanism employed to deal with a broken family, splintering friendship group, and tumultuous society.
