A vivid, dynamic Southern coming-of-age drama, takes place in the transitional space between high school and college, when life seems to be all questions and no answers, and the future is scarily wide open. Set in and around a Charleston, SC Baptist church, weaving through this ensemble piece are three main characters - Brea, an introspective pastor's daughter experiencing debilitating doubt, the hyperactive Laura, Brea's best friend and a devout believer, and Tim, the open-hearted son of a single father, confronting his homosexuality for the first time. Tensions and buried feelings abound, as colleges are chosen and adults behave badly, as Brea, Laura and Tim attempt to hang onto what they have, all the while yearning to break free.

| Chicago ReaderJ. R. JonesChicago indie Stephen Cone took a quantum leap forward with this moving 2011 drama about a Christian youth group in small-town South Carolina. |
| First ThingsEve TushnetThis is a film with unusual imaginative generosity. |
| User ReviewDavid DThis movie is AMAZING!!! This was my life going to Christian youth group and stuff in high school!!! A must see!!! |
| User ReviewMichael NLoved this movie, one of the better ones I've seen as of a late. Its exploration into sexuality with a religious background was thoroughly interesting, very very good. |
| User ReviewMerkley MHard to imagine that there could be a less pretentious, less contrived film with such simple straight forward honesty about growing up and evolving within and beyond a well intentioned religious upbringing. If these stories can't soften the hearts of even the most unmoving faithful "believers", i'm afraid nothing will. No matter how weird and lost we make think we may be, we are all so very very normal right where we sit.. I hope Stephen Cone makes 20 more movies that are even half as real. |
| User ReviewStephen Ytotally wonderful. intense, deeply felt and totally totally sincere; through quiet compassionate honesty it crosses a thousand insuperable barriers: the sceptic, the non-believer, the gay and the fundamentalist live side by side and noone gets hurt. They each have their moment. |
| User ReviewGeorge PGentle but slow-burning, this film takes an unusually adept (and sympathetic) look at faith-based communities and the kids who are going up in them, wise kids who question their own faith, sexuality and identity. |
| User ReviewTracy FAmazing. Insert myself in the characters at one time or another. |
| User ReviewPaul FA beautiful, wonderful dive into the minds of three young adults, two of which are seeking to branch out from their traditional upbringings. This entire film was a reminder of the challenges I faced growing up, and that was what made it so powerful to me. The actress playing Brea did a phenomenal job portraying her own excommunication. |
| User ReviewKim DCone's feature is among the best of a recent spate of dramas observing American Christian life. Honest, observant, and subtle. |
