Set in the mid-90s, Johanna Morrigan (Beanie Feldstein) is an academic but lonely school girl whose idols (including the Brontë sisters, Freud and Sylvia Plath) communicate with her via pictures on her bedroom wall. After travelling to London to interview for a music paper, she reinvents herself as bad girl ‘Dolly Wilde’.
