One of the main things I didn't like about this movie was the title, not because of any misguided belief in the censorship of the word “sex,” but because of the conversations that followed, many times, after telling a friend about the amazing movie I saw I had just seen it in the cinema.
Aside from that minor hiccup, the film showcased a phenomenal range of talent in all aspects of the film. Molly Manning Walker showcases her modern and evocative cinematography to truly connect the audience with the characters. Walker also wrote the script which is equally brilliant and manages to capture the essence of youth in each of the characters. Not only that, but she also doesn't hesitate to create a realistic representation of youth that is extremely difficult to find in current films. Walker has created a film that weaves the innocence of three young adults into a story of loneliness and despair that is surprisingly relevant to today's world.
Director: Molly Manning Walker
Writer: Molly Manning Walker
Stars: Anna Antoniades, Mia McKenna-Bruce, Lara Peake
It's obvious that this film is deeply personal not only for Walker but also for the three actresses who played the lead roles. A story with such tangible emotion can't be written without a deeply personal idea at its center. The film will put you in the shoes of three young women and tell you exactly how women feel today.
The performance of the three young people was masterful. It was like they weren't even acting. Mia McKenna-Bruce brilliantly shows the slow decline of Tara's outward personality into a more solitary and isolated one. The comedy that flourished at the beginning of the film was perfected by the young girls' ability to so accurately show the emotions that go through each person's head at that age.
Disturbing and hilarious, this movie left me in my seat a few minutes after finishing. Unlike any other movie I've ever seen, it will take you on a journey you've been on before but always wanted to experience again, the journey of youth, and you may realize that in reality, probably and in the Under most circumstances, I don't want to relive that trip.
