More coming of age films should be like this one. This is a character study and the screenplay doesn't follow a neat, easy plot. The actors look real (Joelle Carter is gorgeous, but realistically pretty, not glossy) and the dialog sounds like real conversations. Not much happens but the movie isn't that long. And of course Lauren Ambrose is terrific in a pre-SFU role. She still has that watchful quality, but she's not nearly as sarcastic as Claire.
The movie does look cheap unfortunately and sometimes the lighting and sound sucks. That's my only big complaint.
