The complexities of growing up
27 February 2023
The streaming site that I viewed this on had it listed under an LGBT category. That is simply wrong. This is a film about young people figuring out just what they are sexually. One, two or three of these characters may turn out to be categorized, an awful word, by that label, especially one, but their fate is mostly unknown. Maria Bello, fine as the mother of the principle character, says it best. They are experimenting. In this era, I would think that would be relatively common. At least I hope so. Two lifelong best friends get drunk and have a sexual encounter. One deals with it while the other simply cannot and actually goes out of his way to cause the other harm. It's a sad, though not the most original tale well acted by Josh Wiggins, Bello, Taylor Hickson and Kyle MacLachlan as Wiggins gay dad. It has a rather non-ending that can be interpreted in a few ways and that's probably the best way as there are no clear cut answers for a couple of these characters by the time the film ends. It's a good movie.
