Georgy Girl was seemingly lighter than the other 60s films I've watched so far which made it a lot more enjoyable to watch, in my opinion. Whilst it wasn't exploring very positive issues, there was nowhere near as much darkness as in the other films and it didn't contain disturbing abortion scenes like the others. Rather than looking at the darker times of 'Swinging Britain', it seemed to provide a much more realistic view of how a normal life for "no one special" would turn out.
I quite liked the character of Georgy and I felt her independence, non-conformity and tendency to be strong-willed was something to be respected. Despite many other characters referring to how she could be loved if she looked like other girls of the time, she makes little effort to change as she is more comfortable the way she is.
