My Rating: Liked It
Skook is a low budget coming of age story about a girl getting over some nasty things that happened to her in the past. Skook really has its on personality. The friends in the movie have inside jokes and secret handshakes. This really brings the viewer close to the characters, which makes the scene towards the end of the movie hit harder.
The movie follows a college girl who is back in her hometown, Skook, for break. She runs into a guy that she had some history with in high school and starts hanging out with him. Throughout this story, Skook shows flashbacks to a high school party they were at when they were 18. Both of these stories unfold side-by-side. It's a well told story because it never reveals what exactly happened to the main character in high school, but you know that something did happen. And then, you get to see it unfold at the end of the story, and man, it's rough to watch, but it could've been way worse.
Skook is bound to end up on Netflix Instant, so check it out.
