About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a quiet, empathetic coming-of-age drama about identity and harmful “treatment” programs, with moments of humor and pain; Not for you if you need fast pacing or big confrontations like in The Half of It.

Pros: tender, compassionate tone; strong performances; nuanced portrayal of staff | Cons: slow, low-key pacing; feels unfinished; some period details questioned
