Spurred by her 20th high school reunion, Cecilia Aldarondo revisits her adolescence growing up in Winter Park, Florida.
[7][8][9] Claire Shaffer of The New York Times reviewed the film positively, expressing it "is at its most effective when Aldarondo moves beyond teen lust and into the more complicated aspects of her upbringing.
Her Puerto Rican heritage made her an easy target for bullying at her predominantly white high school, but Aldarondo was not exempt from acting cruel to those around her to fit in.
It looks at what it’s like growing up middle class in a largely well-to-do suburb, living in the shadow of more popular and conventionally attractive siblings, and what it takes to confront the harsh truth that you’ve also been cruel or unkind to someone in the past.
"[11] He said while the documentary can at times feel self-indulgent, "by putting herself out there and allowing herself to be endearingly silly and vulnerable, Aldarondo and co-director Sarah Enid Hagey broach bigger questions about the baggage we carry with us from childhood into adulthood".
