2023 * Not Rated * 1h 43m I love little indie flicks like this. Just about everything about it was perfect. The acting, writing, story, and even the cinematography.
The story is about a young girl nicknamed Goat (Shayelen Martin), who lives in the Pacific Northwest with her single mom Jane (Caitlyn Sponheimer). They rent a house in a small town and illegally sublet it over the course of the summer. The two move into their motorhome and live in an RV park. Mom works a couple jobs and is just getting by while the Goat is left on her own.
She hooks up with a young boy Nate (Leandro Guedes) who's her own age and lives next door. The two of them spend the summer together getting into a little trouble, but have a great time together. They love to bomb around town on their skateboards, and Goat is absolutely obsessed with becoming a surfer. That's mainly due to her deceased father who was a profession surfer. What a sweet little movie. I thought it was funny that the young girl looked almost like the spitting image of Woody Harrelson! Check it out and I think you'll agree with me.
If you're in the mood for something different, be sure to put this gem in your queue!
