Tomboys is a coming-of-age drama film released in 2009 that follows the story of four young girls who meet at a high school football game and form a bond over their shared tomboyishness. The film is directed by Nathan Hill and stars Candice Day, Naomi Davis, Sash Milne, and Tim Spencer. The movie opens with the introduction of the main character, Jocelyn (played by Candice Day), a teenage girl who is struggling to fit in at her new school. She is immediately drawn to Elli (Sash Milne), a confident and charismatic fellow student who also happens to be a tomboy. Elli introduces Jocelyn to her other tomboy friends, including the rebellious Frankie (Naomi Davis) and the shy, bookish Alex (Tim Spencer).

As the four girls become closer, they start to face various challenges in their personal lives. Jocelyn is dealing with her parents' recent divorce and her feelings of loneliness and isolation. Elli is struggling to cope with the fact that her mother has abandoned her and her siblings. Frankie is haunted by the memory of her older brother, who died while serving in the military. And Alex is dealing with the pressure of her academic responsibilities and her overbearing mother.

Despite these challenges, the girls find solace in each other's company and begin to develop strong bonds of friendship. They spend their days playing football, skateboarding, and exploring the abandoned factory where Frankie's brother used to work. Along the way, they learn important life lessons about the importance of loyalty, self-acceptance, and standing up for oneself.

The film is set against the background of a small Australian town, and the cinematography does an excellent job of capturing the beauty and grittiness of the town's landscape. The film's soundtrack features an eclectic mix of rock, punk, and indie music that perfectly captures the rebellious spirit of the tomboy characters.

Overall, Tomboys is a heartwarming and uplifting film about friendship, self-discovery, and the importance of staying true to oneself. The performances by the young cast are outstanding, and the film's themes are both relatable and inspiring. Whether you're a fan of coming-of-age films or simply looking for an engaging and thought-provoking movie to watch, Tomboys is definitely worth checking out.
