Stars: Brie Larson, John Gallagher Jr, Kaitlyn Dever, Rami Malek, Stephanie Beatriz, LaKeith Stanfield, and Frantz Turner
This movie was recommended for me from Film Twitter. So, thank you for turning me onto this movie. I have never heard of it until earlier this month.
This movie tells the story of at-risk youth counselors Grace and Mason (Larson, Gallagher Jr) as they try to navigate keeping their relationship private and helping the kids in their care.
LaKeith Stanfield was a standout in this movie. He was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award for his supporting performance.
The unlikely friendship between Grace and Jayden (Dever) was the heart of the film.
The performances across the board were solid. I had a problem with the third act of the film. It seems like Malek's character, Nate didn't have that much to do. I thought he would have a substantial role in the movie.
Rating: 7.5/10
