Between the bright blues skies and the peachy-pink hues of sun-soaked skin, time allows for so much, that we can almost see moments becoming memories.

Rare and special is a film capable of summoning this much poignancy: a feeling which lingers well beyond the film’s final, achingly moving moments on screen.

The multi-level awareness is not in the dialogue, but it's there in the film's gentle rhythms, the editorial choices, the patience and sensitivity of Wells' approach.

...this beautifully understated yet emotionally riveting coming-of-age drama picks apart themes of love and loss in a manner so dextrous as to seem almost accidental.

Wells’s movie ripples and shimmers like a swimming pool of mystery: it reminded me of the young Lucrecia Martel, in the way Wells captures mood and moment, never labouring the point or forcing the pace.
