Quiet and observant, high-schooler Minnie Dunn (Katherine Mallen Kupferer, Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret.) has found her perfect complement in her outgoing, theater-loving best friend Callie Bell (Chloe Coleman, Big Little Lies). And between her uncertainty about what she wants in life and the fraught relationship she has with her hands-off mom (Tara Mallen, Ghostlight), Minnie really needs a confidant like Callie.

When an accident upends Callie and Minnie’s relationship just before their senior year, Minnie finds herself forming a complicated bond with Callie’s mom, Helen (a remarkable Sophie Okonedo, Slow Horses). Featuring charming supporting performances from Iman Vellani (Ms. Marvel) and David Hyde Pierce (Frasier), this queer coming-of-age story from Kelly O'Sullivan and Alex Thompson, the directing duo behind Ghostlight, reveals just how knotted grief can be — especially when you haven’t yet found yourself.
