This film made me cry all the ugly tears in the best possible way. Sammy is dealing with the grief of losing her mom in a way that filmmakers rarely ever let Asian American teen characters grieve. This is the kind of film that makes a young adult feel seen and heard. Miya Cech is a star. She will be winning Oscars, mark my word. Rhea Perlman is as endearing as ever. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and quickly searched for more works with Cech. Unsurprisingly she has quite a large resume. I wish that I had this movie when I was a teen growing up in Southern California in the 1980's but I'm happy to see it receive the recognition of Sundance and Tribeca now.
