I am hoping I can expect more of my three young ones than this disgraceful and dysfunctional display....... Really creepy to think this is a relationship representation......
I too found the lead Sophie Jones totally distasteful in the first few minutes of the film and this did not improve in fact worsened if anything......

Really distasteful representation of teenage grief
small indie
Sophie Jones (Jessica Barr) is a teenager struggling with her sexuality. Underneath it all, she is struggling with the loss of her mother. This is an indie written and directed by Jessie Barr. This is a micro-indie. Apparently, Jessie and Jessica are cousins. This is a family affair. The acting is best described as naturalistic amateurism. It's almost docu-style. The film is technically sound. There are a couple of interesting scenes. I wouldn't say that I love this but as a first attempt, this does some interesting work. I hope that I'm wrong but I don't see a star making performance here. A diamond in the rough would make this material shine more.
A tender piece on loss
I was blown away by this film. The way it's made feels tender and delicate and personal. Everything here feels familiar and painful and dreamlike to anyone that's experienced the loss of the parent -- the internal desperation in loss, especially if you're a young person when you experience it, in trying to hold onto things and pushing them away by throwing your emotions into something else, searching for your memory in smells, talking outloud to them as if they're still there. Jessie's direction of the actors is fantastic and raw and real. And the intimacy of the characters' journeys feels so real and present. This is such a beautiful piece and I'll be thinking of it for some time.
