We the Coyotes

Sometimes you think you know people and then sometimes they surprise you, even when you think you have it all planned out. The characters seem to fit into their roles: girl with her act together and the boy loser. But in spite of the cliché plot, the boy surprises us by knowing the up and coming star at the very roots of his career, and a backup plan for saving the day. The girl on the other hand is the loser who disappoints her parents and is not worthy of the trust. Will they become another statistic to the draw of LA or will life's twists save them? The move is well played, directed, and written. It fits together and is convincing, reflecting the pre-pandemic optimism that we all use to know and love.
