???? This was actually good? I’m so surprised. Ignoring the light sexism and racism I really enjoyed this. Just small town drama. There’s quirky characters and it feels like nothing happens until the very end when things go awry. Like you don’t expect anything to happen but at the same time you feel like something will? If you’re looking for something flow paced, a little funny, and packed with a to of nostalgia this is really good.
