Riley (Courtney Eaton, Yellowjackets) meets Ethan (Thomas Mann, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl) the night she’s released from a rehab facility. When they’re together, life makes sense, but Riley’s therapist urges her to avoid dating for a year. So, when the pair develop an intimate friendship that borders on codependency, Riley’s insecurities about her body send her back into a spiral. Brittany Snow’s (Pitch Perfect) stunning directorial debut is an emotionally raw look at a young woman’s struggle with her mental health made worse by social media’s ever-present influence. (Content Warning: drugs, sex, language)
