For some reason, going into this, I expected there to be more of a plot or something that was driving the doc forward. This is about real people just living their lives, so I’m not sure why I was expecting that, but it didn’t really end up bothering me. I didn’t even realize how quickly the time went by while watching. I was really immersed in the story. It’s not too slow or unrealistically fast-paced. Cusp just follows these real teen girls during their summer and creates a powerful narrative woven around their stories and lives. I thought it was really well done. I’m glad this was my pick for Sundance (I only got one ticket) and I would definitely recommend it.
