“Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Annie Baker proves herself as a born filmmaker with this dreamy debut, a lyrical tale with a palpably tender childlike wonder”
David Canfield, Vanity Fair
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.
