‘Girls Town’
Jim McKay’s remarkable 1996 release begins with a shocking incident that reverberates throughout the film as three fast friends (Lili Taylor, Anna Grace and Bruklin Harris, from left), are heading toward the conclusion of their senior year in high school. “Girls Town” is a serious film, ever demanding in the complexity of its people and their relationships, yet it gets a steady stream of laughs (Cinemax Thursday at 8 p.m.).
