. So it seems appropriate that “Banana Split” includes all the tasty components of a good, fun, soulfully smart summer-after-senior-year teen flick. It’s got sharp-tongued dialogue and fresh appealing actors who know just how to deliver it. It’s got an anthropological eye for youth culture, with its perpetually evolving fashions and habits and pop references .
The tension is: After April broke up with Nick, Carla is the girl he started seeing. And they’re still an item. The movie tells the story of two best friends who should, by all rights, hate each other. “Banana Split,” which has been kicking around the festival circuit for more than a year, was co-written by its star, Hannah Marks, who with her bangs and raccoon mascara and downbeat ebullience suggests a high-school version of Cher. The script, co-written with Joey Power, never lets up , but I wish the movie breathed a bit more.
April, after breaking up with Nick, saw who he was dating and stalked her on Instagram. So when she and Clara wind up at the same year-end house party, it seems as if armed combat is but a step away. Instead, they wind up doing shots and rapping along with Junglepussy’s “Bling Bling” , which kind of seals their kinship. April already has friends, but Clara, who recently moved to L.A. from Fresno, is a girl whoher.
At the same time, April and Clara are in denial of a conflict that will have to rear its head. The director, Benjamin Kasulke, is a veteran cinematographer who brings the L.A. settings a spangly glow, but he stages too many scenes with generic “punch.” I wish he’d played against the comedy instead of italicizing it, and that he’d come up with some pop-music epiphanies and ditched the film’s cloying synthesizer score.
