Our take
Starting over in a new town is never easy, and Deborah Haywood’s debut shows that fitting in can be a rough journey for teenagers and adults alike. Starring the incomparable Joanna Scanlan, this inventive film blends dark humor with twinkling visuals, capturing how bullying can take many forms.
