Mick LaSalle San Francisco Chronicle It would be nice if there were more movies like this, but few have the talent to make them this well - to take a human scale story and make it feel, not bigger than life, but as grand-scale as life actually is. Rated: 3/4 Mar 8, 2021 Full Review Kate Erbland indieWire It's moments like that one which speak to the film's real power: honesty, even when it hurts. Grief, maybe even the good kind. Rated: B- Mar 6, 2021 Full Review Jenny Nulf Austin Chronicle As beautiful as the final scene on the beach is, because Jones' grief is not developed enough, it lands a bit chilly. Rated: 3/5 Mar 6, 2021 Full Review Mitchell Beaupre Awards Radar Jessie Barr’s naturalistic approach to the film envelopes you in this world, placing you back in the headspace of being a teenager, regardless of your gender. Rated: 3/4 Sep 22, 2022 Full Review Harvey S. Karten Big Apple Reviews A movie as authentic as the title character's name. Rated: B Nov 29, 2021 Full Review Taylor Baker Drink in the Movies Looking as one does after a loss for 'something'. Rated: 63/100 Aug 19, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Very moving film about a character who's in pain but having trouble channeling that feeling. Felt authentic and really nicely detailed too. Just really got to me. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Meh... Slow and boring. Kept waiting for something bit this just didn't do it for me. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/09/21 Full Review Audience Member A beautiful piece of art that portrays what it means to grow up while going through a deep grieving process. I enjoyed every minute of this film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member An honest depiction of grief and the teen experience delivered through beautifully cinematic imagery. Not the typically indulgent portrayals we tend to see, this film tugs on your heart in a way that lingers. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie was entirely stereotyped and lacked any creativity what so ever. This movie is very similar to any other movie out there. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member An authentic, emotional, and deeply moving film that captures essence of losing a parent at a young age. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews
