Good indy movie.
I think it did a nice job of illustrating the awkward times when visiting home during your early college years. The breakups, the hookups, dealing with your parents again after a taste of freedom, and interactions with your HS friends who didn't go away to college. I remember those times vividly, even though I'm Gen X not Millennial.
I agree with an earlier reviewer that the 2 female leads looked so much alike that I frequently confused them. Seems nitpicky but it's a pet peeve of mine.
If you grew up in a similar area (rural northeast, post-industrial), I think you'll get what the writer/director were going for, and you'll enjoy it. It's very well acted and really nicely shot and certainly worth your time on Netflix Instant.
