Our take

This refreshing coming-of-age tale explores the discovery of sexuality between two teen girls in Los Angeles’ Chicana community by depicting the unsaid tensions of desire and the confusion facing new challenges. A tender debut feature that resonated with LGBTQ+ audiences after its Sundance premiere.
