Although the picture drags in a few spots and could stand to have been somewhat more daring at times, director Karen Maine's debut feature serves up ample laughs without resorting to cheap tactics, often getting considerable mileage out of gestures as simple as facial expressions and other visuals that speak volumes. But, even more significantly, the film's insights in other areas, such as judgment and self-determination, deliver spot-on messages that expose the hypocrisy and outright silliness often preached by organized religion. The picture's superb ensemble cast, creative cinematography, impeccable editing and excellent background score add to the production's many other fine attributes, making this release one well worth viewing. A smart, sexy, sweet offering well deserving of its accolades -- and a wide audience.… Expand

Enjoyed it. I just think it's a bit short. I think there is still some things in the movie that can be have a closure.

Cute little coming of age that portrays the s3xual awakening of a young woman. Very funny and nostalgic if you went to a catholic school. Natalia Dyer is great as an adolescent in conflict when her body starts opposing what she's been taught.Cute little coming of age that portrays the s3xual awakening of a young woman. Very funny and nostalgic if you went to a catholic school. Natalia Dyer is great as an adolescent in conflict when her body starts opposing what she's been taught. The execution is as basic as it could be, but I did appreciate how it criticizes double standards and religious hypocrisy.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There are some flaws here in this coming-of-age tale yet the acting from Dyer, who carries the film with her innocent and emoting eyes, manages to make the movie sweetly meaningful. Alice (Dyer) is your every-women-as-a-teenager, though her struggle here is with her sexuality and the Catholic high school world she is navigating. We already see her attempts at being good don't quite make the grade (pun obviously intended), especially when a rumour is circulating regarding her and a fellow classmate. Straddling the line between accepted friend and awkward outcast, Alice and her school chums go on a retreat to learn about themselves and their relationship to Christ. Cue some of the tropes, that Catholic girls secretly are more sexual active than they let on or that the individuals espousing 'thou shall not touch thyself' gospel are guilty of the same thing, I didn't mind the cliches because at the heart of the film, you find Alice longing to feel connected to others. You relate to her. She is curious, jealous, emotionally mixed up but honest. She likes a guy and makes a fool of herself. When she makes a bold move, his religious upbringing pushes her off. She gets frustrated. Disappointed, disillusioned. I loved the scene where she slips off from the bland cheery campfire singing and finds herself at a roadside bar and just plain walks in and orders a drink. I am sure most of us would have felt the way she felt. In some sense, her knocking back the wine cooler (early 2000s, hence the beverage) is the audience knocking back the drink. By the end, there are no real great revelations. Life moves on and the audience is assured that Alice will leave her heavy Catholic guilt and her Midwestern life for either the West or East Coast. But Dyer, honestly, she makes this movie. The less she says, the more you see in her eyes which in some scenes spoke modest but compelling volumes. I was impressed. (It also reminded me of a fantastic Norwegian film, not so well know: 'Turn Me On, Dammit'. The film deals with similar themes such as living in tight communities and the need to explore an awakening sexuality. Very similar. Also an excellent and equally short film.)… Expand
