Molly Maxwell
“Love doesn't act its age.”
Drama
At Phoenix Progressive School, students take notes lying on parlor couches and are encouraged to explore their gifts through electives like break-dancing and graphic-novel writing. In the midst of all this liberal pedagogy and budding talent, Molly Maxwell feels unexceptional, until she falls for her attractive English teacher, Ben.
VIBE
A tender, introspective look at adolescent yearning and the search for identity. It captures the quiet anxieties and burgeoning desires of high school, wrapped in a dreamy, indie aesthetic. Feels like a forgotten gem.
