Coast

About This Movie

Coast (2022) really captures that feeling of longing, you know? Abby, the 16-year-old protagonist, navigates this tight-knit coastal farming community while grappling with the idea of leaving it all behind for some wild dreams with a rock band’s frontman. The atmosphere is rich with the sounds of live music that punctuate the narrative, creating a vibrant backdrop. It’s not just about her escape; it's about the bonds she has with her friends, which makes it quite poignant. The pacing tends to ebb and flow like the tides—sometimes building tension, other times allowing for quieter moments of reflection. The ensemble cast brings that authenticity, making the friendships feel real. There's something raw about the performances that you don't come across often.
