    The sort of out-of-nowhere heartbreakingly beautiful yet often dark story I tend to enjoy. The lead, Taylor Buck, has enormous screen presence for someone so young and she never overdoes anything, she just does what any good actor should - let the audience react to what…

    I love this movie even as it breaks my heart. My only teensy-tiny quibble is the smile at the end. We had the photo and then fading back out would have felt more real than the smile. Tayler Buck was great, but Edi Gathegi - a lesser performance would have made the…

    10/10 wouldn’t see again but 7/10 would recommend... I think? Great acting and solid stab at a heart-breaking story, just felt long for 90 mins.
