Molly Maxwell

DramaRomance

At Phoenix Progressive School, where everyone tries to outdo each other with creative self-expression, 16-year-old Molly Maxwell (Lola Tash) would rather be invisible than risk revealing herself as completely ordinary. When her young, handsome, disillusioned English teacher (Charlie Carrick) enters the picture and allows her to just be herself, Molly is suddenly able to flourish. As their student-teacher bond becomes more intimate, she begins putting herself on the line in unexpected ways while pursuing what she wants. But with each awkward, beautiful step towards an impossible romance, Molly risks alienating everyone she loves.

This movie made me realise why my own relationship wouldn't work (he was older and we were a secret) it's a beautifully told love story between a teacher and his student, with great messaging. A little disappointed with the ending but the type of disappointment that didn't let me down it just wasn't what I would have choose. The story is still told amazingly and there is nothing wrong with the ending just not my preference. The actors really made the movie shine and made it not creepy to watch but actually interesting and made me infatuated. If like me you enjoy a movie you can vibe with like mid 90's, I think you'll enjoy this movie! It is a complete vibe and I love how it was written especially how the characters were written :))

16 year old Molly Maxwell becomes infatuated with one of her "alternative school" teachers. Same old thing, but the backdrop of the alternative school, ultra-liberal parents trying too hard, the ferry boat trip to the Toronto Islands, and a nice performance by Lola Tash redeem this.

It's a little surprise film. The theme was a bit inappropriate, but there's nothing seriously offensive in the narration in the name of art and everything was explained loud and clear. Especially the way it ended seems the best one from any angle. If you are a parent, that too for a teenager, you will get it. So this is the story of the 16 year old girl Molly, who attends a progressive school. Her new undertaking is the photography which is guided by her English teacher whom she develops a crush. Since teacher-student should not involve in any kind of close relationship, their's attraction to each other will be tested. But how it will be dealt was focused on the remains. I really kind of liked it. Though this is not the first time in a film to focus on an affair between a teacher and his student. But, how nicely and properly portrayed that issue was the highlight in this. There are no familiar faces, maybe because it is a Canadian film. It was a simple story, so no extraordinary performances, but I liked the girl in the title role. The first feature film for the director and he also wrote the screenplay. Overall a decent film, but a great indie. You should check it out if you are convinced with what I said so far. So I say go for it. 6.5/10

I have to admit I almost bailed on this film in the first 10 minutes or so due to a distaste of teenage shenanigans, but it turned out to be a nice little film with a great lead who I've never seen before. Lola Tash owned the role and it's refreshing to see characters and events depicted in a contemporary film story of this kind that aren't rendered as sitcom cartoon characters. I doubt this film will set any box office records any time soon (in part due to a lack of "names" in acting roles) but it's very well made and has the all important great ending that makes nice moves better. If anyone is wondering where to get a hold of it, rest assured - it's out there if you look. Watch it with someone :-)

I liked the movie in general, but something was missing. I think the teacher and the girl were perfect couple honestly. It was love, not just attraction, but the end of the movie was really bad and left me uncompleted. After the middle of the movie passed by, I had the feeling something was missing. Even know it was kinda forbidden love, I wanted to see this love COMPLETELY shown...the end was horrible and kinda ruined the whole movie... I liked the actors a lot and they did a good job, but I needed to see more. I know love like this is forbidden, but come one guys...in movies we want to see something different and more interesting than the reality. So I had high hopes for the movie but I just feel unsatisfied somehow.. It is like I wanted to see that more, but I did not get it at the end. And this sad, open ending it was not good for the whole movie.

What a surprising treat! I had a spontaneous moment today and went to watch this movie at Carlton. Having no idea what the movie is about walking in, I may have been a bit of an outsider to the sold-out screening where people were fighting for a seat and adding chairs all along the aisle. I knew then that I was going to get my money's worth. And sure I did. I was literally stunned by its artistic interpretation of adolescent, alienation, and pure innocent love. The Q&A session was hilarious, and my gosh, Charlie Carrick is gorgeous! A rising star indeed. Go buy the ticket, and I promise you that you won't be disappointed.
