To The Stars (2019)

"To The Stars" is a coming-of-age drama set in small-town America in the 1960s. It follows a quiet, awkward teenager whose life shifts when a bold new girl moves to town. Their friendship unfolds against gossip, isolation, and small-town judgment. Liana Liberato and Kara Hayward carry the film with performances that feel lived-in, not performed. Adelaide Clemens rounds out the cast in a supporting role that adds another layer of tension to the story. The site carries 2 nude scene clips from the film. Both capture flashes of vulnerability that echo the tenderness running through the story. Fans of understated indie filmmaking, or of this particular trio, will find this a worthwhile stop.
