Tahara was very indie and I will admit that I was slightly bored during the first half. I really loved the style of the film though, and it had unique vibe, so I kept watching despite some rough acting. Then, just over half way through the runtime, the script took a turn and everything clicked into place. I was really, really impressed by this unique take on a teen drama and I am definitely going to watch this again in the future!

I clicked on this movie primarily because of Rachelle Sennott, and her delivery completely carried the comedy. Her dry and awkward flavor of humor is as strong as ever here, and I cannot see anyone else playing her character and making it work.

Carrie Lowstein (Madeline Grey DeFreece) and Hannah Rosen (Rachel Sennott) are best friends in Hebrew school. Their classmate had killed herself and the whole class attends the funeral. Hannah is only obsessed with kissing Tristan. She begs Carrie to kiss her so to check if she's any good. The kiss awakens something in Carrie.

This is a small black comedy indie. There is a bit of experimenting with the aspect ratio. It's not as problematic on a smaller TV. I have to assume that a theater would be a problem. The black comedy isn't that funny. There are only a few mildly humorous moments. More than anything, it becomes quite interesting with the revelations about the suicide. Hannah gets dark. I have to question this friendship.
