Getting more use out of my Bytowne membership, and some more Canadiana to boot.A grocery store detective, Sammy Smalls, is in love with a boy, Eugene, who rejects her because she isn't sexually experienced enough for him. The film is a charming quirky love story along the lines of The Squid and the Whale, with a bit more graphic nature to the sex. Directed by Sook-Yin Lee, of Shortbus fame, the film approaches the question of sex: what do we know about, when do we learn about it, and how do we learn about it. Cristin Milioti, in her role as Sammy, carries the film and provides a very charming likable protagonist. The film deals with sex as something that is funny, awkward, embarrassing, and most of all, fun. Overall, quite charming, and we will hopefully see more from from Lee in the neat future.
