Writer-director Eliza Hittman follows 'Beach Rats' with a transfixing account of a small-town Pennsylvania teenager dealing with an unplanned pregnancy
, Eliza Hittman trained a tough yet lyrical gaze on the conflicted self-discovery of a teenager in summertime blue-collar Brooklyn, exploring his sexuality while dodging the toxic masculinity of his tribal buddies.
Right from the start, Hittman plants the idea of girls drawn into compromising situations and judged harshly for it while boys get bragging rights among their snickering peers.
That shift in location — from the shabby storefronts, dying industrial sites and wintry farmlands of Pennsylvania to the crowds and confusion of Manhattan's Port Authority bus terminal — changes up the grainy textures of cinematographer Hélène Louvart's limber 16mm camerawork. It also magnifies the vulnerability of the two young women, who arrive in New York with nothing but the address of a Brooklyn reproductive clinic.
The moments of understated tenderness between them seldom involve much direct discussion of their situation. But there are notes of lingering poignancy, such as a fight that causes Skylar to stomp off, later reconciling with Autumn in a beautiful scene in which their innate understanding of one another outweighs any need for an apology.
