Maddie Ziegler, on the heels of her starring role in HBO Max’s teen drama The Fallout, stars opposite Reservation Dogs‘ D’Pharaoh Woon-a-Tai and Schitt’s Creek‘s Emily Hampshire in a new kind of coming-of-age tale, Fitting In.
In this trailer for the semi-autobiographical story based on Grown-ish and Grace and Frankie director Molly McGlynn’s own adolescence, Ziegler portrays Lindy, a 16-year-old who is just like any other teenage girl. She fantasizes about losing her virginity to her crush Adam (Woon-a-Tai) and wants to act on her sexual desires.
But when her mother Rita (Hampshire) takes her daughter to get birth control, a visit to the gynecologist leads to an unexpected discovery: Lindy has Mrkh syndrome, a rare congenital disorder resulting in an underdeveloped vagina with a small or absent uterus.
As Lindy learns to accept that her journey into womanhood looks different from her peers’, she attends an Lgbtqai+ support group,...

"To own who you are is up to you. No one should make you feel ashamed of that..." Elevation Pictures in Canada has debuted the official trailer for an indie coming-of-age comedy titled Fitting In, from filmmaker Molly McGlynn. This first premiered at the 2023 SXSW Film Festival, and also played at the TIFF, Calgary, and Vancouver Film Fests up in Canada this year. A teen girl is diagnosed with a reproductive condition that upends her plans to have a sex life, propelling her to explore unusual methods. Her relationships are also challenged with everyone in her life, but most importantly, herself. A semi-autobiographical feature written and directed by Molly McGlynn (Mary Goes Round), Fitting In stars Maddie Ziegler as Lindy, with Emily Hampshire, Djouliet Amara, D'Pharaoh Woon-a-Tai, and Ki Griffin. This looks fun and authentic, a slightly different sex comedy story about a young woman trying to figure herself out.

Who am I? Where do I fit in? Am I some kind of misfit? Will I ever be an ex-virgin? Such questions surely occur to every adolescent at one point or another. But only one out of approximately every 5,000 female ones arrive at them for the same diagnostic reason as the heroine of “Bloody Hell.” Molly McGlynn’s second feature focuses on a 16-year-old distressed to discover she has a rare congenital disorder that considerably complicates her nascent sex life, formative sexual identity and indeed basic sexual plumbing. This SXSW-premiering Canadian seriocomedy is a bit less focused and effective than the writer-director’s prior “Mary Goes Round,” but it’s still accomplished, and similarly renders relatable the sometimes self-defeating behaviors of a protagonist who’s got a lot of issues on her plate.

Exclusive: Maddie Ziegler and Schitt’s Creek Star Emily Hampshire are to lead Bloody Hell, a coming-of-age “traumedy” from Mary Goes Round director Molly McGlynn.
Principal photography kicked off in Canada last week on the feature, which follows 16-year-old Lindy (Ziegler), who is unexpectedly diagnosed with a reproductive condition that upends her plans to have sex, presumptions about womanhood and relationship with her mother (Hampshire).
The film is semi-autobiographical for McGlynn, who was diagnosed with Mrkh Syndrome when she was 16. She was subsequently behind critically-acclaimed 2017 feature Mary Goes Round and has helmed episodes of the likes of Grace and Frankie and Bless this Mess.
“It took me several years to scrape together the courage to write this script,” said McGlynn. “I knew Maddie was the perfect person to capture the nuance and complexity of this confusing, emotionally overwhelming and in hindsight, absurd, time in my adolescent life.”
