LeAnn F Over an hour in and I'm thinking this is the most boring movie I've seen. Reading the reviews I'll go back to finish. Just hoping the last 30 minutes makes up for the 70 minutes of complete nothingness. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/19/24 Full Review Jamie S I don’t ever leave reviews but this movie is SO good and well worth the watch! The cast did an amazing job and the storyline of what it was like to grow up during the late 90’s-early 2000’s was spot on. Not only was I hooked from start to finish, but it also brought back great memories of my teenage days. I highly recommend watching this movie!! It’s one of my all time favorites! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/19/24 Full Review KB B It was not the best, don't bother with this one. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/24 Full Review Audience Member Loved it! Great story, great acting and scenery. Kept you in suspense throughout. Very well written and directed. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member A well-done independent film. A must see! All the cast and crew did a phenomenal job. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member If you love coming of age dramas or the nostalgia of the 90s this film is a must see! The dialogue and dynamic between Sammy and Emily is authentic, I was pulled right into the story. As things get complicated between the two, you see the class difference between them really bubble over. Overall, loved the film, and long live the butterfly clip!
