We all have "un-glamorous but utterly authentic" scenes from our childhood. We never forget them, like little gems we've tucked up our sleeves. Throughout our adult lives, we occasionally take one out and ponder it -- an inscrutable mystery.
Yet, next to the "glamorous" content found in the onslaught of movies served up to us year after year, decade after decade, our own gems appear dull, embarrassing, and worst of all, shamefully true. We quickly tuck the gems up our sleeves, hoping no one saw us think about them.
"Take out the gems! This is where your life happens!" yells this movie -- with a smile. "This is where you got brave! This is where you dared to show yourself, to share yourself! To embrace vulnerability with another! This is where you tasted your first orange! Do you remember whose lips it was on? Can you taste it even now?"
