30 minutes in and I called it quits. Too many random storylines shown for too short of a time for me to care. Didn’t care for the one-perspective-the-entire-movie thing either

I found it boring, slow, and a bleak reminder about aging.

A very, very slow and dry film 🥱🥱🥱

Didn’t realize this movie was about teenage homocide

20 minutes in and this movie is very woke. Lesbians, "patriarchy" references, weak male characters, poor put-upon "minority" character vs evil white character. It's just Turning Red, but kraken themed.

Another one of those abstract movies where you can’t tell if the alien/supernatural helper was real or not, followed by a scene of pure nonsense that’s supposed to be an epiphany of some sort.

A very annoying and confusing movie. *spoiler alert* The story flow and feel is abruptly interrupted when we find out that Orion is recollecting rather than the movie being set in the present. It gets more confusing later on with time travel spackle. I also found the character design to be poor.

A little slow to start, but overall a warm and feel-good movie.

Most will find the movie very un-relatable as this was the director’s attempt at telling her own life story. The puberty themes are too mature for young children to be introduced to yet and intrude into territory reserved for parents to teach their children in.

Not remotely scary, just annoying. And the constant, valley-girl whining of the lead actress is insufferable.
