Cash’s film is reflective and accomplished, showing the world through the eyes of a young woman challenged by a painful childhood and by the culture of her times, finding her own way through the chaos around her to a functional adult life. Read full review

This one is too interesting, funny and aggressively/transgressively sexy — if there even is such a thing these days — to pass by. Read full review

Although she seems primarily concerned with whether conflicting views of sexuality can be reconciled in a committed relationship, Cash dresses the issues up in so many layers of cuteness that the message practically gets smothered by the candy-colored cinematography and insistent indie-pop soundtrack.

The Elektra-complex-meets-American-Beauty wrinkle is underplayed and completely ineffective. To top it off, Cash has thrown a banal, bargain basement soundtrack and score on it.
As we've seen with Love, Simon before it, the only way to make a story about queer teenagers inherently dull and unrelatable is to put white kids in a gorgeous suburb.… Expand
