Ava's bullying wasn't just from being tall, it was from being tall in the dance industry where all the girls are short and compact and can be lifted by partners in choreo. It's obviously difficult for her to do traditional partner work because the male is usually the one lifting the females, and for dance troupes or teams she would probably be cut for being too tall and not fitting in with the group. She also has a really long wingspan (like 6' 7" or smth ) and in dance engaging your shoulders is a big part of looking graceful so a lot of people (like Abby) mocked her for her long arms and said she didn't look good dancing or that she looked "scary" when it reality it's just a lot harder for a taller dancer to have control of their body. The bullying she faced came from the industry she's in, so maybe a regular girl in school isn't as likely to get bullied for her height, but there are definitely industries like dance where being tall is a constant struggle, so I think this movie could've succeeded as a dance movie since Ava obviously has the talent and personal experience to portray that on screen

[@kempisabel9945]

you couldnt have put it in a better way, the writers of the movie are the problem, they didnt quite understand what exactly the struggles are, they just threw in a cliche high school drama linking it to being tall.

@@qwomlee6058 she said "beat that" which kind of prompted competition. I don't think we should cause of course there's people out there who have been bullied for be tall but and she was teased("how's the weather up there?" honestly isn't that bad, it's mild teasing tbh but I get the insecurity) but to be like "I'm a white girl with no financial struggle religious or homophobic oppression, etc. whatsoever who's tall" and for her to to tell her black friend she doesn't understand is kinda iffy. Also, this is coming from someone who's also 5'8-5'9(I've been told different things) but also black and lgbt so I just have a few problems with how they did this. The most that's been said to me is "You're so tall so you should play basketball" and that was all from my family(mostly from my dad but whatever) but that's for other reasons so... But yeah, this movie wasn't too great for other reasons(toxic relationships that ended up working out, minor character development, etc.). Sorry for rambling but I just wanted to develop the background of my opinion. Sorry.

[@nuolya]

I'm 180cm tall (which I think is 5'11) and I was insecure AF in school. 'Tall girl' may be a bad movie but being a tall girl is not an invented problem. Even if people don't bully you openly, you still perceive yourself as 'not normal' and it ruins your self-esteem. You feel awkward all the time. A teacher once said to us during history class: 'as we all know, small women are made for love, and tall women are made for work'. Feminism or body-positivity wasn't a big thing 15 years ago (at least where I live). A girl was supposed to be feminine and you can't feel feminine when you're bigger than all the guys, therefore, again, you feel 'not normal'. This led to me choosing partners solely based on how tall they are, which of course rarely resulted in healthy relationships. When I was 12, another teacher divided our class in two groups, and within each group you had to collectively come up with a two-word description for each person from the other group. The description I got can be roughly translated as 'lanky geek'. Another girl who was my height was a little more lucky and got 'a funny giraffe'. Oh, and a lot of people are saying tall girls shouldn't be defined by how tall they are. But the problem is, that's exactly how other people define them constantly. With all the 'you should be a model' and 'are you on the basketball team?' comments. Like these are the only things in life you're allowed to do. And then there were small things like not being able to find clothes or shoes that fit you. I have no problem shopping in the men's section now but as a teenager you are ashamed of that. So for years, I wore shoes in smaller sizes, and now my toes are deformed because of that. And it doesn't fully go away when you grow up, you just become smart enough to realize it doesn't matter. I sometimes wear heels, and almost every time I do someone will come up to me with 'You're already so tall, why do you need heels?'. I went on a Tinder date once, and the guy turned out to be a lot smaller than me. The evening was awkward, and we set down all the time. Afterwards I included my height in my Tinder description, and almost immediately stopped getting any matches. Another time, I was travelling with a group people, and there was a guy who just couldn't get over how tall I am. He kept mentioning it every day and one time he looked at my feet and was like 'Oh wow! Your feet are so large! I thought mine were big but yours are almost as big as mine, and you're a woman!' If you've made it this far - thank you for spending your time on this. A lot of us are struggling with accepting ourselves as valid, and I don't think it's a productive strategy to categorize those struggles as important and not important. Like, 'okay, you're fat but at least you don't experience racism' or 'you were bullied for being gay but be grateful you don't have disabilities'. It's probably a lot better now though, compared to when I was in school. I think modern teenagers, and the world generally, are a lot more accepting of other people.

Wow, I'm sorry you have been through all that. Some people, specially some guys can be trully jerks! Thank you for sharing your story, I hope this gets more likes so everyone can see it.

[@olivia.martin]

A way this movie could have worked is by showing that Jodie’s insecurities and depression (due to said insecurities) are making her feel and _think_ that people don’t like her because of her height. Like, sure, maybe a few people (like the main mean girl) could be shitty to her, but does literally _everyone_ have to be out to get Jodie? No. Because that just doesn’t happen in real life. Having Jodie progress over the movie, come to like herself as she is and realise that she _isn’t_ hated by everyone would be a nice commentary on how one or even two harsh comments can make a person feel seriously insecure for perhaps the rest of their life. But in Tall Girl, as it is now, it just comes off like Jodie is unanimously a freak until she has her ‘big speech’ at the end and changes everyone’s mind in two seconds. This movie has such weird direction...

[@acyace9665]

Olivia Martin THANK YOU 👏🏾

[@marianafernandez3925]

I AGREE

[@froggyfun1830]

The truth has been spoken

[@froggyfun1830]

Although another way they could have gone as well being more specific to the actress herself and her experience. Height can come way more into play with dancing and ice skating and sports that have to do with precise body movement. So it could talk about struggling with being tall in those sort of industries. Although honestly I much prefer yours and while the two ideas could be tied together as well as dance is so body centric and can make people extremely insecure over their bodies because of it. So there is my tangent but over all, this movie had potential and just completely screwed itself over.

[@abcfefghijklmnop3947]

I totally agree but I just wanted to say, Jodie doesn't have depression she is really insecure and unhappy with her looks, that's different :)
