Is it for you?

Who'll love it
One for anyone nostalgic for their awkward years and crime fans. Small moments carry real weight here, the way they do when you're young. Shelve it next to Brick or Bound by Honor. Set in sun-baked Los Angeles.
The mood
Dark and gritty.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 36 min.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1979: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

High school student Dana moves to the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles after her North Dakota parents get divorced and falls in with the wrong crowd.
