"This is not just one of the great films of its year, but one of the finest first films in the annals of the medium." — Charles Bramesco, Little White Lies
"The kind of luminous portrait of a summer where nothing happens and yet everything happens." — Alissa Wilkinson, Vox
"An absolute original." — Todd McCarthy, Deadline
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. As the months pass, three visitors enter their orbit, all captivated by Janet and her spellbinding nature. In her solitary moments, Lacy inhabits an inner world so extraordinarily detailed that it begins to seep into the outside world. 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.
