Absolutely superb.


Sidney Flanigan is absolutely brilliant in this playing a troubled teen with a secret to keep. It's hyper-real at times. We can feel her pain. Some utterly heartbreaking scenes including one single take piece of quality cinema.

It's downbeat, sombre, melancholic and moody. And those are it's best qualities. The viewer is reminded of British cinema in the vein of Andrea Arnold and perhaps Cristian Mungiu's '4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days'. It's not over scripted, and it has a lovely washed out colour palette to ram home the "realness" (and filmed on film I think)

Eliza Hittman is a real force in American cinema and hopefully will be for years to come. Superb.

8.2/10

I agree. I think this is one of the best films of the year and her best film so far. 9/10 for me.
