Review by Guifré Margarit i Contel | 21 October 2023

Manning Walker adopts the aesthetics of Spring Breakers (Harmony Korine, 2012), but delicately and appropriately injects a social commentary spin, delving into the subjects of teenage sexuality, rape, and consent.

While this choice in visual presentation, as well as the way some essential sequences are shot, seems to soften the powerful message, the great lead performance by Mia McKenna-Bruce compensates for much of it.

3.5/5
