LIZA, LIZA, SKIES ARE GREY

Cinemavixion Review

In the summer of 1966, 15-year-old Liza and her boyfriend, Brett, embark on a four-day road trip along the coast of California. Brett is moving away at the end of summer to live in New York with his father, and the young couple wish to lose their virginities to each other before then. Liza's mother disapproves of Brett because of his fraught family situation and pushes her daughter to suitors. Spurred by the societal shifts of this time, like the draft for the Vietnam War and civil rights movements across America, as well as their families splitting them apart, Liza and Brett decide to start their journey in search of personal freedom and to ignore their bleak futures.
