Synopsis

From the makers of In Between Days and Treeless Mountain comes this Independent Spirit Award-winning film about a college-age Brooklyn girl, who--get ready--is not annoying, infuriating, or self-absorbed. Zoe Kazan (Revolutionary Road) makes the most of her first starring role, imbuing her complicated character with simple charm. Since she's epileptic, she needs to keep cool when dealing with her new boyfriend back at school and her new feelings for an old friend (Mark Rendall, Charlie Bartlett), who's spending summer break with her in New York. The title directly refers to her bottled emotions and the threat of a medical meltdown. As an allusion to The Cure's "The Exploding Boy," though, it also indicates you're in for a wistful, bittersweet romance.

Bradley Rust Gray---USA---2009---80 mins.
