Plot summary

A vivid, dynamic Southern coming-of-age drama, takes place in the transitional space between high school and college, when life seems to be all questions and no answers, and the future is scarily wide open. Set in and around a Charleston, SC Baptist church, weaving through this ensemble piece are three main characters - Brea, an introspective pastor's daughter experiencing debilitating doubt, the hyperactive Laura, Brea's best friend and a devout believer, and Tim, the open-hearted son of a single father, confronting his homosexuality for the first time. Tensions and buried feelings abound, as colleges are chosen and adults behave badly, as Brea, Laura and Tim attempt to hang onto what they have, all the while yearning to break free.

A rough-cut gem. Wonderful characters and acting; no simple answers to challenging questions. So worth watching, and so unlikely to be watched by so many. I'll have to watch it again, because it feels like there are many layers to enjoy ...

If I could think of one word to describe the movie it'd be: raw (in a good way). It doesn't try to make the awkward and painful moments polished and feels very much like real life. Especially the scene with the pastor and the teen towards the end (I won't give any spoilers) was really sweet and genuine. I will say though the plot is a little hard to follow and I had to look up a couple plot points I didn't understand. But mostly yea it was very true to what real life is like. I also noticed how a lot of things weren't fully resolved in the end. But I'm honestly okay with that because that's kind of like real life. It wasn't a *gasp* what's gonna happen in the sequel?? But more of a "welp here goes nothing". I really like that. I would definitely recommend this movie.

Well. I was riveted. The setting in an almost hyper-real US suburban setting, a kind of evangelical heaven on earth. But in this setting are real emotions, real people, beautifully portrayed by brilliant actors. It is both gently poignant and funny, with the delightfully "gay" ending with the Christmas tableau.
