A truly haunting and aching portrayal of teenage life after the disappearance of a high school girl
solid soundtrack, i like the weirdness off it. honestly I maybe a bit dumb, but it just felt really confusing to me and not in a fun rewarding way.
This is what happens when try to make Twin Peaks.
I wanted to like it, but 48 minutes in I realized I still had more than an hour to go and I couldn’t keep lying to myself. Moves too slow/plodding, doesn’t center any particular character, it’s hard to understand why students would be impacted by the disappearance of the weird girl no one seems connected to, and there isn’t really a hugely sympathetic character in the bunch. Stylized teen romantic drama with Lynchian overtones but it doesn’t quite hit on all cylinders. May watch the 2nd half… someday…
Good watch. Kinda teen drama”y” but it still tells a story of the horrors their own horrors they face in their small town. Dope sound track !
