In 2001, Franny, a 16-year-old exchange student from Germany, arrives in the sleepy desert town of Las Cruces, New Mexico. Far from home, Franny struggles through awkward school days, stifling heat, and restless nights until she meets Elliott, a boy whose quiet sadness mirrors her own. As America reels from 9/11, something resonates within Franny and an unexpected tenderness begins to bloom.

I’ll Be Gone in June deftly transcends its personal end-of-innocence framework to capture a whole country in shellshocked, sometimes ugly transition. Go to Full Review Leslie Felperin The Hollywood Reporter 4d
The film effectively becomes a nostalgic glimpse at a teenage way of life that’s almost disappeared, when kids talked to each other and hung out IRL much more and didn’t spend every waking minute with eyes glued to screens. Those were the days. Go to Full Review Lé Baltar IndieWire May 22

I fell in love with the world Rivilis created, as it seemed to transport me back to my own teenage years, in all its pain and glory. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
