a mesmeric portrait of romance in this era."

"Director Daniel Grasskamp tells a modern love story with confidence

and thoughtfulness, but also knows how to inject moments

of searing pain that break the spell"

"...fragile, subtle, passionate...a tender, loving look at a budding lesbian relationship...

a finely etched little drama with a very solid performance at its heart"
