This energetic coming-of-age debut seems like a combination of Harmony Korine’s Spring Breakers and Charlotte Wells’ more recent Aftersun.

“Best! Vacation! Ever!” After a painfully long school year and in the aftermath of exams, three 16-year-old best friends arrive in Crete. Packed to the brim with flashy outfits and fragrant sunscreen, they search a crowded resort town for experiences to satisfy their insatiable hunger for (a carefree version of) adulthood. But hostility lurks in the hotel room across the hall when one of the guests recklessly crosses Tara’s (Mia McKenna-Bruce) boundaries. First-time filmmaker Molly Manning Walker drew on memories of her own childhood vacations for this powerful—yet (unfortunately, all too often) painfully relatable—story, which won her the Young Talent Award at Cannes. After all, we can never learn enough about sex and, more importantly, about our responsibilities toward one another.
