Bella and Bernie
Two 16 year old carefree confidantes, Bella and Bernie, tentatively explore independence and sexuality while trying to dodge the ever watchful eye of Mrs. Judge, Bella's mother. The evangelical Mrs. Judge has concerns over Bella's friendship with the vibrant Bernie, wary of Bernie's secret family history repeating itself in Bella. As Bella learns more about Bernie, and herself, she will realize that choice is fickle, sometimes coming down to those who make the choice and those who must live with the consequences.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
