Our take
Jim and Amanda bump into each other at a liquor store and spend a day replaying high-school love in black and white. They kiss and clearly care for each other, while language turns sharp whenever jealousy or old hurt surfaces. The script deals with a past pregnancy loss, handled in conversation. We land at US NR and up because the emotional stakes and steady strong language suit mid-teens more than younger kids
Uplifting themes
Honesty about mistakes and second chances runs through their day together. They learn whether nostalgia helps or hurts Jim and Amanda are flawed but kind to each other by the end. Their choices model talking through regret instead of pretending it away
Story (may spoil tone)
Meeting by chance when they return to their tiny California hometown, two former high-school sweethearts reflect on their shared past.

Talk after watching
- They pretend to be strangers on a tape to feel young again. When does nostalgia help, and when does it trap you?
- Each of them moved on but never fully let go. What would you need to hear from an ex to trust a fresh start?
