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

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.
