A 16-YEAR-OLD GIRL, AND, HER
FATHER HAS RECENTLY PASSED
AWAY, AND SO, HER MOTHER HAS TO
GO ON A BOOK TOUR, AND, SHE IS
PRETTY SAD, AND SHE THINKS THAT
SHE IS GOING TO HAVE A ROTTEN
SUMMER, SHE GETS SENT OFF TO
LIVE WITH HER GRANDPARENTS FOR
THE SUMMER, BUT PRETTY
IMMEDIATELY SHE GETS SWEPT UP
BY A GOTHIC BOY WHO LIVES NEXT
DOOR, AND IS TRANSFORMED INTO A
GOLF -- GOTHIC PERSON BY HIM,
AND LIKES TO BE MISFITS IN
BLACK AND A KIND OF
TRANSFORMATIONAL SUMMER, IN
MANY WAYS, NOT ONLY PHYSICALLY,
BUT EMOTIONALLY.
BUT EMOTIONALLY. A LOT OF THINGS THAT SHE ENDS
UP DEALING WITH LIKE THE LOSS
OF HER FATHER, AND, HOW TO
RELATE TO HER MOTHER IN A NEW
WAY.

TEENAGE DRAMA INSPIRED BY THE
COMING OF AGE STORIES OF THE
80s, THAT WERE VERY IMPORTANT
TO MY LIFE.
AND, THERE ARE SOME
AWKWARDNESS, SWEETNESS, A
LITTLE BIT OF CHALLENGING
MOMENTS, THAT SHE GETS INTO,
AND ALL IN ALL IT HAS A REALLY
STRONG FEMINIST ENDING.
AND, I THINK THAT A LOT OF
PEOPLE WILL ENJOY THE FILM.
