Yes, God, Yes

You may recognize the lead actress, Natalia Dyer from her role as Nancy Wheeler in Netflix’s Stranger Things. Here she is a teenager in the early 2000’s which is pretty clear thanks to the wonderful trip down memory lane of the AOL system and chat rooms. Dyer’s character of Alice attends a catholic school and decides to go on a catholic retreat with the school in the midst of her discovering sexuality. That is it pretty much in a nutshell seeing her awkwardly and unnerving at times experiencing things for the first time while witnessing it is not just herself that has these feelings that everyone is saying will send you to hell. Dyer fits the role perfectly with her almost mousy youthful appearance and portrays nervousness through he facial expressions. There were times that I did feel uncomfortable as this is a not intimate, but, close look at a girl discovering self sexual stimulation. This is a movie that will definitely not be for everyone, those with daughters at that age of discovery or even actual girls going through the process of sexual awareness will probably get some underlying take away from this, it could also go the opposite way depending on your family or religious belief structure and create a bigger divide on beliefs.
