Two love rivals secretly become best
Friends in an implausible and oddly solemn comedy-drama
Here’s a film that has been dug out from near the back of the freezer cabinet – something from 2018. It’s a teen female-friendship, coming-of-ager from 27-year-old
Actor and co-screenwriter Hannah Marks who stars here, channelling a young Sandra Bullock.
She plays Californian high-school student April, dating the egregiously hot Nick (Dylan Sprouse) who breaks up with her at the end of the senior year. So begins April’s summer of misery, which seems complete when she learns, from Insta-stalking Nick, that he is now dating gorgeous Clara (Liana Liberato). A drunken confrontation between the two
Women has a weird cathartic outcome: they secretly become best friends, and it’s almost as if both of them are cheating on Nick – with each other.
