  ★★★½ review by Still Here🏳️‍🌈 on Letterboxd

  Only woman can make a film like this. I'm not sure if I've ever seen such a film which explores young woman's sexuality in such tender and brave matter. Even though the director said that the film isn't about sexuality, it is undeniable to totally deny that it doesn't touch the topic. After all the beautiful imagery highlights how natural and beautiful woman's sexuality (taboo in cinema one might say) is. Most of all it tries to reach the "feeling" of growing-up, being young, trying to head for the sky (literally). And apparently Lithuania is full of plane schools and the people are really crazy about planes so what we see here isn't only beautifully universal but also shows something about a country that at least I'm very uneducated about. At points it feels a bit amateurish - I wasn't sure at all about the use of music in the first half of the film. It took so much space, silence probably would have been more effective. It's understandable that the director tries to reach for some kind of excitement through music but it could have been handled better. But it's a minor issue in the end. It most certainly emphasizes on visual storytelling (one of the flashiest example of this is how the rooms of girls reflect their past and their mentality).

  auditory beauty accompanied by stunning visuals and a tender, heartfelt plot. i absolutely adored it. one of the best growth/coming-of-age stories i've watched in a long time.

  also i want austė's everything. her room, her clothes, her hair, et cetera
