saw this online as a part of sundance purely to see lola tung in another project after the summer i turned pretty.
overall I was pleasantly surprised with this movie! very charming & heartfelt, and pretty steamy too. lots of laugh out loud moments! great subversion of expectations when it came to how some of the characters were written. iliza shlesinger is hilarious and gives a great performance. would’ve loved more of lola tung, but still great to see her in another role!
a perfect coming of age movie for those who have already came of age. live más

This is wildly different from Decker’s previous films but I did enjoy it quite a bit.
