QUICK TAKE:
Drama: A high school senior ends up romantically involved with a new transfer student who's suffering from physical, emotional, and psychological scars stemming from a recent tragedy.
PLOT:

Henry Page (AUSTIN ABRAMS) is a high school senior with two best friends in Kem (ADHIR KALYAN) and Suds (SARAH JONES), who likes classmate Cora (CORAL PENA). Henry believes that nothing remarkable has occurred in his life, with his only desire for the year being named editor-in-chief of the school newspaper.

He gets that gig but must share some of those duties with recent transfer student Grace Town (LILI REINHART). Despite her being aloof and standoffish toward him, Henry is instantly smitten and the two eventually become friends and then lovers. But with her not having fully recovered from a past tragedy that's left her with physical and emotional scars, Henry tries to help her sort through her issues but finds himself frustrated at times by the complicated situation.

I have subscribed to ScreenIt for more than a decade. I check in every week to take advantage of their amazing services. Not only does their site provide a glimpse of exactly what content a movie offers, I've found the “Our Take” reviews and ratings for each movie to be right on the money every single time. I've referred dozens of friends to this service because my #1 resource for deciding whether or not to show a movie to my kids, or to see one myself, is ScreenIt.com!

I signed up to get Screen It weekly reviews a long time ago, when my kids were young and I wanted to know more about movies before we went to a theater or rented. Now one child is in law school, other in undergraduate, and I still read the weekly Screen Its! It helps me know what my husband and I want to see or rent, and what to have waiting at home that we all will enjoy when my "kids" come home. I depend on Screen It reviews. They usually just present the facts and let me decide if the movie is appropriate or of interest for my family and me. Thank you for providing that service, Screen It!

I have 4 children who are now in college. I signed up for Screen It when my children were pre-teenagers. Often my children would ask to see a movie with a friend and I wished I could preview the movie prior to giving permission. A friend told me about ScreenIt.com and I found it to be the next best thing to previewing a movie. The amount of violence, sexual content, or language were always concerns for me and my husband as we raised innocent kids with morals. We constantly fought the peer pressure our kids received to see films that in our opinion were questionable. With the evidence we received at Screen It, our kids couldn't even fight us when we felt a film may have been inappropriate for them to watch. Thank you, Screen It. Continue to make this helpful service available to everyone, but especially the young parents.

Screenit.com is an amazing resource for parents, educators, church groups or anyone who wants to make an informed decision whether a movie is suitable for their viewing. The reviews and content descriptions are so detailed I am mystified how the reviewers can put them together.

I love screen It! I don't know what I would do without it. It is well worth the membership. Before we take our son to the movies we check it out on screen it first. Thank you SO much for making it. Keep up the good work & keep 'em coming!!!
