Emily P @LovelyLox Feb 24, 2026 As a girl who also grew up in the city during the 80’s, from a sheltered home, I could relate to both characters and watching it again 30 years later was truly a walk down memory lane, a true delight. This movie did not disappoint. See more Apr 27, 2010 After cliché-ridden and condescending movies about teenagers and their hungry libidos, it is good to see a well-made and moderately realistic film about youth. And this from a non-studio film from 25 years ago! See more Read all reviews
