"This came across a lot like a UK version of Spring Breakers but the story is a bit better. "

"(2023) This is a really powerful movie that tackles some tough themes like trauma, sexual consent, and peer pressure. It's about Tara, a 16-year-old girl who’s on summer vacation with her two friends. The throbbing sound design pulses through the party scenes, and the fly on the wall camera work makes you feel like you're right there with the characters. Mia McKenna-Bruce is phenomenal as Tara, and her performance really makes the story impactful. Her portrayal of the second guessing and self doubt that can follow traumatic experiences is especially powerful. Her friend Skye's constant "I'm just kidding" and jealousy was annoying…it felt like a really accurate but infuriating portrayal of a certain self absorbed type of friend, which adds another layer to Tara’s experience on this trip. The ending however felt lazy and it missed a chance to really land a punch, which was a shame given how strong the rest of the movie was. 9/10"
