Reviews

"This is a beautifully raw, queer, and partially autobiographical coming-of-age story by director Kim Bora."

- Stefania Sarrubba, The Mary Sue

"A warm, complex and hopeful slice of teen life."

- Tomris Laffly, The Hollywood Reporter

"Kim's film is a compassionate piece on interpersonal connection that'll touch your heart when it's at its most vulnerable."

- Andrew Bundy, The Playlist

"A sublime coming-of-age movie that lingers on the mind and heart."

- Hoai-Tran Bui, /Film

"To see a film of this intimacy and humanism is an absolute revelation."

- Joshua Brunsting, CriterionCast

"The autobiographical script amplifies the travails and hopes of female adolescence through startlingly specific observations without the tinge of false nostalgia."

- Abby Sun, Film Comment
