Molly Manning Walker’s semi-autobiographical debut won the Un Certain Regard award at Cannes with a gut-wrenching take on the beauty, vulnerability and horror of being 16. Seen through the series of affronts that make up what British BFFs Em (Enva Lewis), Skye (Lara Peake) and Tara (Mia McKenna-Bruce), insist on hailing the “best holiday ever”, the film is disorientating and complex. Awaiting their GCSE results, the trio throw themselves recklessly into Crete’s frenetic nightlife, with Walker’s camera gazing relentlessly into their eyes. From the defiant sisterly early bacchanal to the heartbreaking sexual assault that robs the doe-eyed Tara of her innocence and her faith in friendship, sinister social pressure crushes the joy of hope.
