A Film by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Annie Baker
"Its soul emerges in the questions Baker waits for us to ask. What turns stubborn girls into pliable women? Was our personality forged in opposition to our parents, or will we repeat their mistakes?" —Washington Post
In rural Western Massachusetts, 11-year-old Lacy spends the summer of 1991 at home, enthralled by her own imagination and the attention of her mother, Janet. Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Annie Baker captures a child's experience of time passing, and the ineffability of a daughter falling out of love with her mother, in this singularly sublime film debut.
