Director : Niall MacCormick
Running Time : 90 mins
Seventeen year old Beth Fischer (Jones) befriends a new girl in town, aspiring author Amelia Conan Doyle (Brown Findlay), but as Amelia starts to become more of a feature in the lives of Beth’s family, she starts an affair with Beth’s writer-father (Koch).
It’s nice that the two characters that have an affair actually have something in common, but the whole thing was still a mid-life crisis cry for help from the dad, and I did feel sorry for Beth, faced with the possibility of losing her dad and her new best friend while having to put up with her overbearing mother. I like that Amelia manages to turn things around and chooses her friend over her pretentious lover, and the ending where everything pretty much falls apart makes for a believable conclusion.
