Film Comment - 07/01/1987
"...[Lloyd] carries David Leland's film with impudent cheer..."

Los Angeles Times - 07/30/1987
"...Rapturously good....Leland has a reason, a purpose, a history for every character....His vision is as precise and as acute as Woody Allen's re-creation of the Rockaway Beach of his childhood in RADIO DAYS..."

Entertainment Weekly - 05/07/2004
"[A] tender and spirited coming-of-age story."

Product Description:

A high-spirited tale of a rebellious teenage girl in 1950s Britian who energetically flouts the repressive sexual mores of her working-class seaside town. 16-year-old Lynda enjoys shocking her neighbors with her foul mouth and lascivious behavior, but underneath her flamboyantly cheeky facade is a lonely girl still suffering from the loss of her mother at an early age. No one in the town understands Lynda's desperate need to challenge conventions -- least of all Lynda's widowed dad. When Lynda's reckless sexual adventures lead her into a dangerous relationship with an unsavory older man, her father is powerless to stop her.
