This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Reminds me of the smaller films I grew up wiht in the 1970's (Breaking Away for some reason leaps to mind). Lily Rabe is supremely touching in the title role, her barely contained grief only infrequently bubbling to the surface. Timothee Chalamet as the "troubled but talented teen" is absolutely terrific in a cliche'd role, but watch the scene where he and Miss Stevens sing along to "Sister Golden Hair" and then he steals a glance at her, that's your first indication that this kid is going to be a star (wait til you see "Call Me By Your Name"). The Rob Huebl storyline didn't really click for me, though he, too, is in top form and expresses the opinion of a lot of school teachers in how deep his connection goes with his students. Anyway, a terrific film with showcase performances all around, keeping an eye out for the director's next project. Expand

Fine small film that really gets at the heart of life questions. Not all easy answers here but very well acted and well paced. Captures the sense of what it means to cope with these issues for people high school age and older folk as well.Fine small film that really gets at the heart of life questions.

It's your typical pseudo feel-good/drama indie movie, but it has Timothée Chalamet in it.

Feel good indie dramedy. Doesn't break any new ground or take any risks but entertaining enough.
