There is some mild teenage kissing in a few different scenes. A brief, somewhat suggestive conversation occurs regarding a makeover, which is clarified to be about wardrobe and appearance.

There are occasional instances of physical conflict, including a boy punching another during a fight, resulting in a black eye. A character also crashes their bike into a car, which is played for comedic effect.

Mild profanity is present throughout the film, including uses of 'damn,' 'hell,' 'Jesus,' 'be-otch,' and one instance of the 'p-word.'

Casual adult drinking is shown in a few scenes involving background characters at parties or home settings.

The film explores themes of social anxiety, chronic bullying, and feelings of inadequacy due to physical appearance. These moments are central to the plot and may be difficult for viewers who have experienced similar social exclusion.

Tall Girl runs 101 minutes, directed by Nzingha Stewart, released in 2019.
