Really nice little indie coming of age film.
Peaceful and realistic slice of life kinda story.
I really liked it.
It was really nicely crafted.
I could understand motivations of every character.
There were some really nice family and frienship drama that i did relate in some levels.
But i can also see that this film will be very divisive.
There has been lot of conversations about age gap relationships in films lately.
But in this film that relationship is clearly supposed to be super uncomfortable and inappropriate.
And i mean super uncomfortable at so many momens.
Red flags were seen everywhere.
But i can really see that these kinda relationships are happening in real life.
Really well made film.
Nice looking.
Really naturalistic.
Mostly no soundtrack at all.
Nice performances.
I can see that Lily McInerney has bright future ahead.
She was really good in this.
Nice supporting performances too.
If this gets some really good studio to distribute it, i can really see it finding own audience.
I really hope so.
Or then it wil remain as little Sundance hidden gem.
I enjoyed my time watching this.
