it is hard the life of the teenager, actually the adult life is pretty hard too, but not that much as of the teenager, the hormones are playing really hard, and not in the positive side unfortunately. I have been through it as well, and perfectly realize how it feels for the main hero, but there is no one in the world who can help her. She needs to learn how to live with that, lying and making up is not an option, as someday eventually all the truth comes out, and in it makes life harder a dozen of time more than it was before. I am proud of myself, that even though i had a lot of pressure from around, i managed somehow to focus on studies in order to become a better person than i am. This way i was able to built my future and become a fortunate person who is being adored by everyone around, of course i understand that the majority of my admirers are fake, but still it doesn’t change the pleasant feeling that i am the center of attention.

I got sick already of watching this kind of movies. A young girl suffers from lack of attention, as a result she suffers and makes up a plan, she makes a real student party in order to turn at least some attention upon herself. This movie has become a winner of a variety prestigious awards on prestigious movie contests. But my personal opinion is that there should not be this kind of movies, as it shows a way of a young girl to self destruction. Of course there are many people in the world who are suffering from lack of love, and of course they will “borrow” a few ideas from Lyla. I don’t understand what is wrong with making the good old movies there real love is able to make people happy and there two people don’t need anything else except each other. When i see this kind of “desperate” movies, i feel myself very angry and helpless at the same time.

Mmmm, honestly speaking this movie is way too dark for me, i would recommend it to some people whose life is very well, and they are simply looking for some pain in the a**, as this is exactly how i felt after watching it. I hate the feeling while watching this kind of movies, that someone is doing something in my brain. I would not suggest it to people who are going through breakup, or other problems. So in a few words about the plot of the movie. Lila is fourteen years old, and her summer vacation she spends on the sea shore together with her friend Ciara, nevertheless her age Ciara is doing pretty well with her personal life, she has a boyfriend together with who she can swim and walk in the evenings, whom she can walk with under the moon and whose hand she can hold. So of course the hero of the movie is dreaming of the same thing, but there is no guy who would take her serious and turn the attention upon her. And that makes her doing irrational things, that are against her essence.

First-time feature filmmaker Hittman, working with the talented DP Sean Porter, has a natural way with visuals that communicates the curiosity running rabid through the blood of summer-idle teenagers.
