A rich group of characters centred around Milla, a young girl who's cancer diagnosis means she starts looking into other choices in her life. Eliza Scanlan absolutely centres this film in a performance simultaneously childishly vulnerable and richly lived in, and everybody around her matches her (in particular Essie Davis and Ben Medhlson as the parents). I saw the play version of this about 8 years ago and enjoyed it, but this feels weirdly richer and stronger - there's truths about youth and experience and life through every frame.
