Never Goin' Back

Drama

Never Goin' Back is a fresh and funny look at female friendship, following Angela (Maia Mitchell) and Jessie (Camila Morrone), who dream of escaping their waitressing jobs at a low-rent Texas diner, even if it's only to Galveston. Taking place over just a few days, the film follows their hilarious and unpredictable misadventures on the streets of suburban Dallas as they attempt increasingly madcap and wild schemes to try and raise some cash.

With Never Goin' Back, Frizzell isn't just making a stoner character study, but capturing a specific cultural moment.

What Never Goin' Back does is take a long hard look at a familiar comedic template and ask, "But what if ladies?" And then it does it better than just about everyone else.

A delightfully irresponsible - but also refreshingly generous - girls-gone-wild romp ...

I found a lot in Frizzell's debut feature that I really related to on a personal level.

...writer-director Augustine Frizzell shows that it's possible to find the comedy in a relationship between two people even in the worst of their situations.

The kind of after-a-dorm-party movie that could easily find a cult following over the years.
