My review · Reviewed 10/08/2024

This movie was such a breath of fresh air in that the acting is fabulous and the story is original. There were so many points in the movie where it felt like we were being brought down familiar paths only to find that we end up with a fresh take. While on the surface this might be labeled as "teen", it is a quality drama.
