Dakota Skye

This was actually a very small independent movie or at least it looked like it. The acting was very good with all these new actors. It kind of reminded me a little bit like that TV series Dawson Creek. I didn't really like the main character in this movie but she does redeem herself in the end.




I guess sex in high school is extremely common in today's environment. So is drinking and doing drugs. That is depicted in this movie but not in a funny or humorous way in typical teen movies. Here it is shown more as regular life which is real and sad at the same time.

The premise of the movie is good. I like the doogie howser type voice overs even though it is very common practice nowadays.

Netflix summary:

Superpowers rarely come without a price, and for 17-year-old Dakota Skye (Eileen Boylan), the price is cynicism that stems from spotting the truth in every lie. Disengaged, she watches life go by from the sidelines … until she meets the unfailingly honest Jonah (Ian Nelson). Problem is, Jonah is her beau's best friend -- which leaves Dakota navigating the treacherous waters between friendship and romance in this well-crafted indie drama.

Overall, it was both entertaining and enjoyable to watch. I would recommend seeing it.
