I went into Old Enough expecting cheese and found a small classic. Marisa Silver’s Lower East Side feels lived in, and the friendship at the center—two girls from very different wealth classes—plays honest and tender. If you vibe with Little Darlings but want something smaller and truer, this lands. New York in the eighties is captured with a sharp eye, the kid performances from Sarah Boyd and Rainbow Harvest feel real, and the women-led perspective keeps the gaze humane. No leering, no panic, just curiosity and empathy. A synthy Julian Marshall score threads it together with that indie-NYC pulse. Old Enough is scrappy, real, and quietly empowering. High three and a half from me. Read the full review on my substack. https://rottenpop.substack.com/
