Wonderful Theme
This movie is light hearted, fun and has a solid message. It reminded me of Ann of Green Gables. The acting and story line are engaging. I'd like to see more movies like this being made that highlight women of substance.
There was one part that seemed as though it skipped ahead or somehow a scene was missing but overall the scenes flowed together seamlessly.
The story outlined in this movie helps shine light on the wonderful qualities of a strong-minded young women, especially when she is fortunate enough to find a quality mentor that can help guide but also grow from the relationship. Well done and highly recommended.

Don't miss this film!
A real life coming of age film. The main character is 20 years old and has just finished college. Her close friends are embarking on different paths and her mom has her own dreams she wants her daughter to fulfill. The script is beautiful in that it captures real life experiences within family without being over dramatic or too Hollywood. I can picture myself as each one of the characters as a past, current or future me! The cinematography is spectacular. The snowy scenes are dreamy and frequently capture an artistic sense that moves your heart with memories that may not be yours! Don't miss this warming peak into these charming characters' lives.
Poetic and Intellectual
I had the privilege of attending the premier at SXSW in Austin and even had the chance to meet some of the cast members. Not an action-packed film by all means, but a poetic and intellectual story with added levels of complexity true to the relationships of women. They empower one another in different ways to help each other achieve their own dreams. At the same time, they also help each other through dark times which brought out the best in themselves. Crisp and white winter sceneries brought a sense of peace and serenity throughout the film. Veteran Diane Ladd's performance was outstanding with several up and coming actresses to look out for!
Highly Relatable
I just loved being able to see myself in each of the women characters and highly recommend to all my friends and families to pursue your dreams even when you or others don't believe in yourself.
Diane Ladd's performance was stellar. Happened to catch Diane Ladd just before her press conference at the SXSW Austin Conference Center/ Meeting Diane at SXSW was an absolute joy she is so warm and personable.
Christina Rouner plays the Mom and as a Mom myself I could so relate to her performance made me cry. What a wonderful and talented actress!
What an awesome surprise that Danielle Brooks has such a beautiful voice and her song is very catchy.
Eden Brolin, filled the shoes well of a bored brat in the coming of age movie "I Dream Too Much".

young girls thoughts put to use through a dreary winter
I thought this was a very good movie about coming of age. It touched on a lot of themes that are relevant. It had a varied cast but I especially liked that the main characters were women and held the movie by themselves without really revolving around a man or men. I would like to see a lot more of this type of movie in Hollywood, what a great change that would be. I felt all the actors did a great job and I was definitely impressed with Eden Brolin since it was her first film. One could not tell that, she seemed polished, did a wonderful job. The cinematography was beautiful showing the frozen Hudson River and other pretty sights in the wonderful small town in upstate NY of Saugerties. It made the movie feel homey and inviting. Thanks so much for enjoyable entertainment.
