I admire it more then like this 2016 film from director Kerem Sanga.
Performances from Brianna Hildebrand and Dylan Gelula were good. The first part of the film dealing with Anne's romance with popular student Sasha was film's strongest part. Then it just proceeds to get darker and more downbeat as the film goes on especially anything to do with Clifton, Anne's ex best friend turned sex crazed Jealous bully. The third act completely lost me as it just got way too dark. The end wasn't the best.
The worst thing is every character is really dislikeable in the end including Anne, who outs Sasha cause of a jealous rage. Clifton turns into a sexual abuser and Sasha just turns into a cold hearted so and so.
I think if Sanga probably made Anne a bit more likeable I think the ending would have landed better. But by the time Anne cycles off on her new bike, I just didn't cate really.
I can totally understand why this film has a low rating as going by the poster and title of the film, you'd be expecting a lovely coming of age love story about two girls but it's nowhere near close to that. It's a pretty downbeat dark tale of teenage life. A different title and poster and if the people promoting the film did a better cut of the trailer, I think this film might have done better.
