Set over the course of a languid South Brooklyn summer, this unflinchingly honest, refreshingly unsentimental tale of sexual exploration and awakening centers on Lila (Gina Piersanti, in a remarkable debut), a lonely 14-year-old girl who pushes herself into frightening and dangerous new territory in a quest to experience love. – The Criterion Channel
