Beautifully acted true to life small town love story
I might be biased for many reasons...
1. Who doesn't love a complicated love story? 2. I fell in love in middle school. 3. Wilmington NC, where I now reside, is all over this film.
The film uses primarily Wilmington talent, and there's an abundance here. Over the years, I've seen most of these actors on stage and in other films. Watching them tell this story was a pleasure.
For actors to shine, you need a compelling script and a compassionate director. These actors all blew me away. Seemingly simple scenes were nuanced; grounded in the characters' relationships, allowing the story to take you on a layered journey.
Mundane and unique, harsh and gentle, serious and silly, it's all there. I won't spoil it for you; enjoy the ride!
