Inspired by true experiences of grief, girlhood, and growing up, Jessie Barr's Sophie Jones provides a stirring portrait of a sixteen year old. Stunned by the untimely death of her mother and struggling with the myriad challenges of teendom, Sophie (played with striking immediacy by the director's cousin Jessica Barr) tries everything she can to feel something again, while holding herself together, in this sensitive, acutely realized, and utterly relatable coming-of-age story.

It would be nice if there were more movies like this, but few have the talent to make them this well - to take a human scale story and make it feel, not bigger than life, but as grand-scale as life actually is.

It's moments like that one which speak to the film's real power: honesty, even when it hurts. Grief, maybe even the good kind.

As beautiful as the final scene on the beach is, because Jones' grief is not developed enough, it lands a bit chilly.

Jessie Barr’s naturalistic approach to the film envelopes you in this world, placing you back in the headspace of being a teenager, regardless of your gender.

Very moving film about a character who's in pain but having trouble channeling that feeling. Felt authentic and really nicely detailed too. Just really got to me.

A beautiful piece of art that portrays what it means to grow up while going through a deep grieving process. I enjoyed every minute of this film.

An honest depiction of grief and the teen experience delivered through beautifully cinematic imagery. Not the typically indulgent portrayals we tend to see, this film tugs on your heart in a way that lingers.

This movie was entirely stereotyped and lacked any creativity what so ever. This movie is very similar to any other movie out there.

An authentic, emotional, and deeply moving film that captures essence of losing a parent at a young age.
