1h 34m
Directed by Maria Maggenti | 95 mins | 1995
Coming of age meets coming out in this charming lesbian romcom, which pairs Laurel Holloman (later, "The L Word"’s Tina) with Nicole Ari Parker ("Boogie Nights") as two high schoolers who forge an unlikely bond: the former a tomboy on the social margins, the latter an upper-middle-class honor student whose friends sneer at any mention of same-sex attraction. The film got slapped with an “R” rating: a testament to its being ahead of its time.
