It's the summer of 2002. Violet and Stella are nine-years old and inseparable. They spend their days playing in waves, catching butterflies, sending wishes to fairies, and spying on nude adults at the beach. But then, the summer ends. Stella has friends back home, but would rather talk with them about mermaids than tampons. A lonely Violet attracts the attention of a vicious bully, while silently processing her changing body. Over the next few summers the girls come together, but puberty, boys, family trauma, and the desire to "fit in" all begin to threaten the magic of their friendship. Over/Under is a story of innocence and loss of innocence. Violet and Stella teach us about the deepest kind of friendship, and remind us just how delicate childhood really is.

3/5
Over/Under is overall a heart-warming and moving film that proves director Sophia Silver is one to watch, but as often is the case with directorial debuts, the film feels like it needs some finer tuning. Go to Full Review Tina Kakadelis Beyond the Cinerama Dome 05/23/2024
