DVD for 12 year old 'but not kids film'

DD has asked for a DVD in her stocking - but specified not a kids' film. She's a big fan of Pixar and Ghibli but obviously thinks she's outgrown them (for now - I'm sure she'll rediscover her love for them later.) Recent hits have been The Princess Bride, Hidden Figures, Big Eyes and unexpectedly, Moonrise Kingdom (she'd loved Wes Anderson's animated films but I thought this might be too odd.) I've been looking at other Wes Anderson but his other stuff all seems to be 15 cert. She's definitely not interested in the romcom/ high school transformation movies all her friends like so is expecting recommendations from me.

So I'm looking for a 12 or PG, preferably a bit quirky, film - a bit of swearing is ok but nothing violent or sexual. I considered Little Miss Sunshine but a rewatch reminded me why it's a 15. So far I've only come up with Hunt for the Wilder People - any other ideas?

Sorry-Missed the quirky bit.

Not Kill Bill.

Yesterday. We all loved it.

I’d probably get a Netflix subscription rather than a DVD though.

Now You See Me is great for that age and feels like a grownup film
