About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a low-key, offbeat coming-of-age drama with humor, big feelings, and a distinctive counterculture backdrop, in the vein of Weirdsville or Cherish; Not for you if you want a tight, plot-driven ride.
Pros: unique redwoods setting; thoughtful self-discovery; warm ensemble moments | Cons: uneven pacing; hard-to-relate lead; some shaky plotting
