Almost Friends

2017 · 105 min

A gentle, meandering coming-of-age story that feels like a low-key indie, with awkward romance and family drama.

Overview: A man in his mid-20s, still living at home with his mother and stepfather, puts all his eggs in one basket: the girl who works at his local coffee shop. The problem is, she has a serious boyfriend. As they become closer, the line between friendship and intimacy is blurred, and the situation forces both to examine where they are in their lives.
How it feels: Melancholic, warm, earnest and romantic. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Coming-of-age, identity, family, love
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
