Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMolly Manning Walker said the idea for the story came from a "formative memory" during a teenage holiday, when she saw a girl perform oral sex on a man on stage during a bar crawl. "I started writing from there. We spent a bit of time in Malia doing research. We really tried to... engage with real life and what was going on. And then we did some workshops where we talked to 16-year-olds and their concept of consent, and it was quite wild what came out of that."
- Quotes
Tara: [on her encounter with Paddy] I was... like asleep so...
Em: [concerned] Are you saying...? What Taz, he was like that with you on both nights?
Tara: [begins crying in fear] It's fine.
Em: You should have said something. I didn't clock, I... Taz...
Tara: No, you're right. I should have said something. It's fine.
Em: No it's not.

As a film, this takes its time to find a balance, IMHO, but the core characters come through pretty well by the end, although personally I found some of them seriously underwritten (e.g. The lesbian couple) and would have preferred them either silent or absent, or given more to do. However, this is a first-time filmmaker, so perhaps that's a bit harsh.
Don't expect a fun time.
