Overview
The story of a precocious six year-old and her ragtag group of friends whose summer break is filled with childhood wonder, possibility and a sense of adventure while the adults around them struggle with hard times.
This movie was good but by no means great. It does a fantastic job of showing a snapshot in time of the kids and their parents and that in itself is very interesting. In that sense it very much reminded me of “Boyhood” but that film had the added layer of actually following the characters through the boy’s formative years. I felt like after seeing 20 minutes of this film that I had pretty much seen all that I needed to see.
