Rating: 2.5/5
Writers: Will Basanta, Isaac Hagy (screenplay), Clay Jeter, Debra Jeter (screenplay and story), Nikki Jeter Wilbanks (story)
Director: Clay Jeter
Cast: Sarah Hagan, Austin Vickers
“Cousins” in a loose sense of the word (their parents were best friends), both Jess (Sarah Hagen) and Moss (Austin Vickers) come from broken homes and cling to each other for familial support. Jess’ father is unconcerned with her life, beyond telling her to get a job to pay for her own cigarettes, and her mother is long gone. Moss’ parents died young in a car accident, leaving him to his grandparents who are, like Jess’ dad, generally disinterested in Moss’ development. The two kids run wild for one last season, as Jess + Moss uses a unique structure to tell us the very specific story of a very specific kind of childhood summer.
