Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Smooth Talk (1985)

Does such a good job of capturing the feeling of being a girl at the "in-between" age -- that age where one feels ready to experiment, but without any real idea what that might entail…Gets truly tense at the end.

One complaint - I thought her much older sister was her much younger sister the first couple of times I saw her on screen. Odd-looking woman-girl that caused unnecessary confusion.
