It's the summer of 2002. Violet and Stella are nine-years old and inseparable. They spend their days playing in waves, catching butterflies, sending wishes to fairies, and spying on nude adults at the beach. But then, the summer ends. Stella has friends back home, but would rather talk with them about mermaids than tampons. A lonely Violet attracts the attention of a vicious bully, while silently processing her changing body. Over the next few summers the girls come together, but puberty, boys, family trauma, and the desire to "fit in" all begin to threaten the magic of their friendship. Over/Under is a story of innocence and loss of innocence. Violet and Stella teach us about the deepest kind of friendship, and remind us just how delicate childhood really is.

In the hands of a different director this all might have come across as twee or even icky, but here the actors’ astonishing naturalism and ease in front of the camera make this an exemplary coming of age story from Sophia Silver. Go to Full Review David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter Jun 17, 2022
