Jack_BaldwinSeptember 18, 2025This fairy-tale-like account of girls confronting death, menstruation, first kisses, and marriage captures their curiosity untainted by adult prejudice. Yet the director shrouds it in unease, for in any society, the disappearance of girls is a grim reality.

Nate_BarnesSeptember 18, 2025Avoiding overt exposition, the film unfolds from young Cleo’s perspective to portray the pain of losing a sibling. Grainy film filters enhance blur dreams, memories, and reality, adding a hallucinatory quality to this finely wrought portrait of girlhood.
