IMDB
Amazon

The Happiest Girl in the World from Radu Jude captures the dynamics of a teenage girl struggling with parents and the big bright world.  A convincing performance from Andreea Bosneag as Delia, and impressive direction by Radu Jude throughout some very long takes.  Although some may find it repetitive in certain places.
