12 and Holding
“Do You Know Who Your Kids Are?”
Drama
Three pre-adolescents with virginal and eager-of-signals naivety, hit headlong against monstrous and inhospitable loneliness, in the incandescent fire among the ashes of their own inocence.
VIBE
This film feels like a hazy, sun-drenched memory of a difficult childhood summer. It's a quiet, introspective look at kids grappling with heavy themes, evoking a sense of profound, almost unbearable, loneliness and the fragile beauty of lost innocence.
