Admissions

In Admissions, we follow Evie, a talented high school student who struggles with the weight of college admissions and family responsibilities. Set against the backdrop of her chaotic home life, Evie finds herself prioritizing her family's needs over her own ambitions. Her father, Harry, is preoccupied with model trains, while her mother, Martha, relies on Evie to care for her developmentally challenged sister, Emily.

The film addresses themes of sacrifice and identity, as Evie navigates her feelings for James, the boy next door, while feeling the pressure to succeed academically. Instead of pursuing her own potential, she sabotages her college interviews, revealing her internal conflict and desire to remain close to her family. The film's unique perspective offers a fresh take on the coming-of-age genre, showcasing the nuanced challenges faced by young adults in their formative years.
