We Are The Mods

A comment on WATM found on 123people.com in a review on the Florida Film Festival


We Are the Mods -- If Lymelife came off as an Ice Storm/Snow Angels hybrid, then Mods strikes us more like a blend of Ghost World and The Dreamers, not to mention any other indie flick in which a lonely teen falls in with any crowd that'll have him/her. And like Lymelife, the familiar arc is bested by the cast of fresh faces (Melia Renee as the introvert protagonist, Mary Elise Hayden as the stylish bad influence) and director/co-writer E.E. Cassidy's easy-going tone and a knack for sparing us hysterics when inevitable conflicts arise. After all, what's less hip than overblown melodrama?
