Only Children

About This Movie

Only Children has this quiet intensity that lingers. Jill's life looks perfect on the surface, right? But dig a little deeper and you see the cracks forming. It's a TV movie from '84, so you get that unique pacing and atmosphere that’s hard to replicate today. The dynamics between her and her friends are really intriguing, almost like a chosen family vibe. There's a subtle examination of adulthood and the expectations that come with it, especially when a baby enters the picture. The performances feel genuine, almost raw at times. It’s not flashy, no big budget effects, just solid storytelling that nudges at the complexities of relationships and personal fulfillment.
