"The Girl in the Book" is a 2015 independent drama film written and directed by Marya Cohn. The story follows Alice Harvey, a talented young writer struggling in her professional and personal life.
The film primarily takes place in two timelines: the present day and the past. In the present, Alice works as an assistant editor in a prestigious publishing company in New York City. However, she is deeply dissatisfied with her job and dreams of becoming a successful writer herself. She longs to break free from the shadow of her father, a famous author, and make a name for herself.
As Alice tries to navigate the competitive publishing world, her past begins to invade her present when she is assigned to work on the re-release of a book she helped write many years ago. The book titled "Waking Eyes" is a semi-autobiographical novel based on her own experiences, particularly her complicated relationship with an older man named Milan Daneker.
In flashbacks, the audience learns about teenage Alice's relationship with Milan. At the age of 15, Alice was seduced and manipulated by Milan, a much older family friend who posed as a mentor and lover. The abusive relationship had a profound impact on Alice's life, leaving her scarred emotionally and affecting her ability to form healthy relationships.
As the present-day Alice delves into the re-release of "Waking Eyes," she is forced to confront her painful past and the trauma she endured. This exploration leads her toward self-discovery and realizations about herself, her worth, and the power to reclaim her own narrative. With the guidance of her therapist and support from friends, Alice begins to find the strength to confront Milan and take control of her own life.
"The Girl in the Book" delves into themes of abuse, healing, and the power of storytelling. It presents a poignant and introspective journey of a young writer as she confronts her past to shape a hopeful and transformative future.
