The CinePearl Take
Rockwell steals the show, turning a seemingly peripheral character into the film’s emotional anchor. The pacing slides effortlessly between breezy pool‑side antics and quieter moments of self‑reflection, keeping the story fresh. At its core, the movie is a tender meditation on finding confidence in a world that feels out of reach.
