Viewing Notes

Didn’t know about this until last night. Hope it’s decent.

Def decent but also feels a little half-baked. I was along for ride with these high school teens in this small beach town and chance to do-over these moments. Also like the drama with their lives and wanting to get away and do something else. However, towards the end things unravel and then it ends on a weird note.

Note: it was pretty bizarre to watch a film called FIREWORKS that features fireworks while actual fireworks were going off right outside the theater (at Muvico Plaza) for the 4th of July early celebration. Also why I try to avoid Muvico on Thursday evenings during the summer (bc they do fireworks every Thursday).
