CRUEL SUMMER SPOILERS BELOW

CRUEL SUMMER SPOILERS BELOW

I’m really annoyed about the Jeanette reveal because everyone calling Jeanette shady for doing things that actually made sense was validated. Like… the girl had a mother who was also constantly seeking validation and approval of more “popular” girls (see the post-yoga scene, Jeanette’s mom was also very excited about the Wallis girls in general bc they’re celebrity-adjacent), she was bound to want to have the Kate Wallis life and openly admire her. They had an opportunity to show that sometimes ppl have behaviors we don’t understand that aren’t harmful while people who seem to act completely within social boundaries do cause harm. Now little things like “Jeanette was excited to find out gossip about the popular girl being missing because she thought having this info would give her social gain” turns into “Jeanette was excited Kate was missing”.

They made it a story of two girls against each other and jealousy instead of letting it remain a story about the ways adults can be more interested in clout and social standing than the safety of their kids. We got one scene of Kate confronting her mother about how she taught her to be obedient. One. We had that “scary story” scene which was unexplored. The adults in this show invited a man to SLEEP OVER at a lakehouse-cabin-thing with their MINOR CHILDREN and they’d just met him.  

Maybe I’m overreacting because I was the harmless socially ostracized kid who just wanted to have friends, and I was groomed by a “trusted adult”, but i feel like turning Jeanette into a villain really takes away from the fact that adults failed both of those girls.

Hey, as an American, if you Aren't one maybe you can show some fucking sympathy to the people who are going to suffer right now. The amount of posts I've seen from non-americans saying shit like "lol greatest country in the world" and essentially laughing at us is not fucking comforting and can be really upsetting. Acknowledge that this is going to hurt us (we certainly fucking have) because we didn't just lose Roe v. Wade, we lost so much more. Read the fucking room for once.

After having time to process, I think the way I feel about that ending is it makes sense with the way things were written and how they showed Jeanette to act at times, but for me from a satisfying storytelling standpoint it feels hollow. To me, the show doesn't pack as much of a punch when it's not two relatively innocent girls with secrets creating a tangled web.

I liked the aspect of "There are no teams. These two girls are not against each other, there just are a lot of misunderstandings fueled by secrets." Now it's about a sociopath getting away with it.

Gone Home Short Film Adaptation!

A Few Things Before You Read…

Keep in mind that this is a script, not a novel. There are certain structures and rules that would make it vastly different from writing a novel.

There was a 45-50 page limit.

This is a loose adaptation.

Because of that, the script will differ from the original content.

Any changes made to the original source material was done to better the narrative of the film.

Writing this was the best…and worst kind of mental, emotional and physical roller coaster. you could have when writing.

If you see a song mentioned playing over a scene, give it a listen while reading ;)

I cried multiple times while writing this.

Now, without further ado…

Enjoy!
