All of the acting is terrific and so naturalistic that it's easy to forget that these are actors performing lines that they've memorized in front of a camera. The real breakout is Collias. Her face and presence, empathetic and knowing, carries the whole film in an unforgettable depiction of modern girlhood.
Donaldson, like Kelly Reichardt, has a keen eye for the smallest of details; A reaction, a wince, even a blank expression that says everything. One of many great decisions was to have Sam on her period during the trip, something she deals with silently behind.
