Storyline

The 12 years old well-bred Lonnie meets the impudent Karen on the street. They spend some time together and Karen teaches Lonnie some of her favorite occupancies, like make-up, shoplifting, skipping school and lying to the parent about it, but confessing to the priest later. But Karen also learns some honesty from Lonnie. A film about social differences and growing up.

"Lonnie's 12. Karen's 14. And this summer they're both..."

"I went into Old Enough expecting cheese and found a small classic. Marisa Silver’s Lower East Side feels lived in, and the friendship at the center—two girls from very different wealth classes—plays honest and tender. If you vibe with Little Darlings but want something smaller and truer, this lands. New York in the eighties is captured with a sharp eye, the kid performances from Sarah Boyd and Rainbow Harvest feel real, and the women-led perspective keeps the gaze humane. No leering, no panic, just curiosity and empathy. A synthy Julian Marshall score threads it together with that indie-NYC pulse. Old Enough is scrappy, real, and quietly empowering. High three and a half from me. Read the full review on my substack. https://rottenpop.substack.com/"
