It’s a movie with a pulse, which is so often lacking in our low-lit drama era, and it’s a movie that doesn’t just take the lives of young people seriously; it adores them. Go to Full Review Alex Billington FirstShowing.net Oct 1, 2026
9/10
This right here is one of the best indie discoveries of 2026. A sensational indie creation, but also a film that is more than just a summer hangout buddy comedy. There's real weight to this, real depth to the screenplay... Go to Full Review Rachel Wagner Rachel's Reviews (YouTube) Sep 28, 2026
