Good coming of age drama. Childhood friends Christina Ricci (excellent), Thora Birch (Ghost World, American Beauty), Gaby Hoffman and Ashleigh Ashton Moore grow up to become Rosie O'Donnell, Melanie Griffith, Demi Moore and Rita Wilson, respectively, but most of the film is set in 1970. With Walter Sparrow (Crazy Pete), Cloris Leachman, Lolita Davidovitch, Janeane Garofolo and Hank Azaria. Good acting all round. Uncredited Brendan Fraser as Vietnam vet.

We expected more 'now' but it didn't matter. Title is unimaginative.
Always remember Glatter as a Twin Peaks director - other credits include The Newsroom, Homeland, True Blood, ER and Mad Men. This was her feature debut.
