Cinema Quote by Bel Powley

“It sounds so negative of me to say, but I don't feel like there were many coming-of-age films when I was growing up. I think that when I was a teenager, I felt really misrepresented in the teenage roles that I was watching onscreen. Especially in women.” quote by Bel Powley — Download Open image
