This film was so sweet and surprising. The story unfolded in the midst of gorgeously shot Arizona desert. The characters pulled me in immediately with their depth of emotion and experience. I laughed, I cried, and I felt a lot move within me when seeing this film. Even the story itself I felt a connection to, as if anyone could understand the straddling of divergent worlds as a teenager. I appreciated a film about adolescence and coming of age that was real enough to identify with, even if I'm not close to being a teen anymore. A remarkable story and well crafted into a film. Truly a gifted filmmaker, this story had strong performances. Bravo bravo! Can't wait to see it again in my city at the Sundance theater!
