Top CriticSeen in a flashback through the eyes of an adolescent, this uncommon coming-of-age tale, which raises poignant questions about the mysteries of sex and love, flaunts a superb performance from Laura Dern as the promiscuous girl

So much here is rich and touching, not to mention the string of superb performances, that the film still merits a recommendation.

The movie is all character and situation, and contains some of the best performances of the year, especially in the ensemble acting of the four main characters.
