Watch this tonight if you want a raw, funny, and genuinely brave coming-of-age story that doesn't shy away from messy teenage sexuality—Marielle Heller's directorial debut is stylish, provocative, and anchored by a breakout performance from Bel Powley. It's the kind of film that sticks with you, even when it makes you uncomfortable.
