THIS IS THE STANDARD EDITION AND DOES NOT INCLUDE A SLIPCOVER In this acerbic teen comedy, a funeral becomes a battleground between best friends Carrie Lowstein (Madeline Grey DeFreece) and Hannah Rosen (Rachel Sennott, breakout star of SHIVA BABY). When their former Hebrew school classmate commits suicide, the two girls attend her funeral as well as the "Teen Talk-back" session hosted by their synagogue, designed to be an opportunity for them to understand grief through Judaism. Hannah, more interested in impressing her crush Tristan (Daniel Taveras), convinces Carrie to practice kissing with her, unlocking feelings that turn Carrie's world upside down. Emotions heightened, the scene develops into a biting depiction of unrequited crushes, toxic friendships, and wavering faith, which ComingSoon calls "one of the most original films in the coming-of-age subgenre in a long time." Audio Commentary with director Olivia Peace, writer Jess Zeidman, cinematographer Tehillah de Castro, editor Troy Lewis, and sound designer Justin Enoch Booklet with essay by entertainment journalist Sara Clements
