The time is 1976, in Nova Scotia, and it’s the weekend of the American Bicentennial. 15-year-old Kit (Dylan Authors) is running away from home to move in with his estranged mother, and to find himself. With the help of his girlfriend Alice (Julia Sarah Stone, AMC's The Killing), Kit hitchhikes through the stunning maritime landscape towards a new home with his glamorous, artistic mother Laura (Molly Parker, The Road). But, as the kids near their final destination the journey reveals some hard truths about their relationship and their identities. Stunningly shot in black and white and enhanced with a killer ‘70s soundtrack, McDonald laces this coming-of-age road-movie with enchanted realism.
A lovely, low-key memory piece, vibrant with the awkward grace of adolescence.Sheri Linden, Hollywood Reporter
The young leads are charming and authentic, and the film reminds us all to embrace our own weirdness.Brent McKnight, Seattle Times
