Overview
- BAFTA-winning director Molly Manners makes her feature debut in Sundance’s World Cinema Dramatic Competition.
- The story follows best friends Minna and Flic at an English girls’ school who pursue a self-assigned plan to fall for their geography teacher, played by Alice Englert.
- A Cineuropa review criticizes the film for overused coming-of-age devices, thin character psychology, and unclear handling of power dynamics.
- A Hindustan Times review praises the film as a lively, sharply observed coming-of-age success and singles out the two first-time leads for standout performances.
- Produced by Brock Media, the film is set intentionally in 2003 to minimize technology, with Manners describing it as a uniquely British take on the high-school movie.
