Wish You Were Here
(1987)
Written & directed
by David Leland this film stars Emily Lloyd, Tom Bell and Geoffrey
Hutchings. In the early 1950s a teenage girl living in a coastal town
has an attitude that rubs reserved sensibilities up the wrong way.
This is a pretty
simple coming of age story that mixes an immature attitude with
sexual awakenings in a teenage girl. While I enjoyed the comedic
character of the film it left a little to be desired on the dramatic
side as I do not think it ever fully explores the characters. There
are decent performances and Emily Lloyd does a good job carrying the
film at a young age.
3/5
