This movie is a beautifuuly rendered coming of age tale. On a farm outside a small Louisiana town in the 1950s, 14 year old Dani (Reese Witherspoon in her first movie) wonders if she will ever be as pretty and popular as her 17 year old sister Maureen. This becomes especially important as Dani is beginning to notice boys, particlularly Court, the 17 year old young man she meets when swimming. Although Dani and Maureen have always been especially close, a rift develops between the sisters after Court meets Maureen. Intelligently written, excellent direction, lovely cinematography, and exceptional acting make this a particularily worthwhile and entertaining film.
