Mixtape

2021 · 94 min

A gentle, nostalgic coming-of-age charmer that trades on music-discovery joy and quiet grief, easy to sink into and warmly sentimental without being saccharine.

Overview
On the eve of Y2K, orphaned 12-year-old Beverly discovers a broken mixtape crafted by her teen parents. Raised by her grandmother – who struggles talking about her late daughter – Beverly sees the mixtape as a chance to finally learn more about her parents.
