In rural 1961 Oklahoma a shy and awkward girl (Kara Hayward) is befriended by the outgoing new girl in town (Liana Liberato) resulting in a friendship that will change both their lives. Beautiful little movie, nicely restrained, elegantly put together and quite endering. You really get a sense of the time and place, the aura of the whole community. Strong central players with a supporting cast that really fills out the world of the film. Not the subtlist movie in its messaging, but also doesn't hit you over the head with it. Maybe the best portrayal of early 60's America I've seen since Mad Men. ***1/2
