Marley Morrison’s knockout debut feature is a sharply observed coming-of-age story that will make you wince and laugh in painful recognition of universal truths. 17-year-old AJ (Nell Barlow) is not one of life’s shiny, happy people. A family holiday at a caravan park in Dorset is her idea of hell. A moody misfit, she dresses for concealment and lets everyone know that she would rather be anywhere else. Then she spies flirty, free-spirited lifeguard Isla (Ella-Rae Smith) who might just be the girl of her dreams. Can AJ dare to take a first step on the road to happiness?
《甜心》下载观后评论：
2021年了，导演是觉得我们还看腻母女撕逼，还是觉得我们还没听腻CAS?? 原生家庭，给自己改名字，磕药吹气球，辍学去解救印尼大象，冲母亲大喊大叫，高潮姐姐姐夫来救火，内容堪比10s的coming-of-age梗大串烧，烂俗到无以复加。拜托没人关心这种自命不凡的pick me girl的暑假生活，能把这玩意儿拍出来的想必也是个pick me director.
非常typical的青春电影。“she smells like chlorine”的悸动，“I’ve never wanted to drown so much in my entire life ”的沉醉，“girls like her like boys”的失落，都太能relate了，简直想把星加满；不过后面1/4的情节仅仅发生于电影里，甚至美好得落俗
[HKLGFF2021] A nice, cute, and bittersweet coming of age movie. 沒什麼出彩的地方吧。”Maybe we aren’t meant to have each other, but we are meant to have that summer.”
