Inspired by true experiences of grief, girlhood, and growing up, Jessie Barr’s directorial debut SOPHIE JONES provides a stirring portrait of the sexual awakenings of a sixteen year old. Sophie Jones has a melancholy, yet dreamy quality with a great performance by Jessica Barr and a terrific music score by Nate Heller (Diary of Teenage Girl) Stunned by the untimely death of her mother (played by the director’s cousin Jessica Barr) Sophie tries everything she can to feel something again, while holding herself together, in this sensitive, acutely realized, and utterly relatable coming-of-age story.
