Our take
Combining dexterous comedy with great depth of feeling, North Sea Texas observes an expansive cast of engrossing characters in its tender portrait of adolescent sexuality. Director Bavo Defurne honed his craft with similar stories over dozens of shorts to arrive at this accomplished and wise debut.
