This title is available to rent via Cinematheque at Home for $8.99. This is not only an opportunity for our patrons to see new cinema, but is an important way that they can continue to support independent film during this pandemic with 50% of all sales supporting our theatre.

The seemingly separate lives of an anxious, disillusioned teen girl and a troubled, alienated man converge fatefully in this haunting exploration of womanhood, isolation, and toxic masculinity, set in 1980s Newfoundland.

Reviews

Jackie, a teen in late-80s Newfoundland, is dealing with the trials of adolescence, friendship, dating, belonging vs. conforming. Dennis, a lonely outcast, struggles with increasingly dark fantasies. What will happen when their paths cross? Nicole Dorsey’s debut feature, remarkably nuanced, reinvents the coming-of-age movie, using the brooding magnificence of the landscape to breathtaking effect. Ella Ballentine, as the young Jackie looking to follow her own star, is a revelation.
