So, 'Two Friends' from '86 is this intriguing TV movie that really plays with narrative structure. It unravels the slow decay of a friendship between two teenage girls, but here's the kicker: it tells the story backwards over nine months. The pacing is quite interesting, as it deliberately takes its time, allowing you to piece together the nuances of their relationship. You get this palpable sense of nostalgia and regret, which is emphasized by the performances that feel very authentic, almost raw at times. The atmosphere is heavy, yet intimate, giving you a peek into the complexities of adolescence and the bittersweet nature of friendships lost. It's a unique take on a familiar theme, and definitely stands apart in the realm of TV movies.
