A California high school student plans to escape from her family and small town by going to college in New York, much to the disapproval of wildly loving, deeply opinionated and strong-willed mother.
I can very much appreciate how this film is made, but I am definitely not the target audience for it. Love the cinematography, the accurate mother daughter relationship, the slightly exaggerated teenage angst, the realism and most of the ending (although the last scene should not have been the final scene, when the credits rolled I verbally said “wait what”, it’s so sudden), love all those things but I can’t say that it’s a favourite for me purely out of personal taste, or maybe there’s some big underlying flaw I can’t put my finger on, but either way.
