Just Looking
“A voyeuristic coming-of-age comedy.”
It's 1955. Lenny is a 14-year old boy who is totally fascinated by sex. He is too scared to "do it," so he dedicates his summer to seeing two other people do it. Easier said than done. Caught in the act of spying, his mother and stepfather ship him off to spend the summer with his aunt and uncle in "the country" -- Queens. His plan looks like a bust and his summer seems destined for boredom, until he meets a whole new group of friends -- young teens who have a "sex club."
A tender, awkward coming-of-age story set in a bygone era. It captures the confusing, exhilarating rush of adolescent discovery with a gentle, observational touch. Feels like a hazy, sun-drenched memory of youthful curiosity and burgeoning sexuality.
