"You were great, You make a really good victim."
Kate (Amber Hubert) is everyone's doormat. Her boss berates her, her mother makes her feel guilty, she allows virtually every man she is close to take advantage of her. When the idiot director of Kate's theater group casts her as Hedda Gabler he insists she learn Norwegian. Once she's mastered the language he changes his mind. Kate suffers in silence but the pain on her face is clear. She re-connects with her thirteen-year-old self through letters she's written to be opened every birthday. At twenty-three Kate finds herself unhappy and questioning everything. Lynn Shelton's debut film, 'We Go Way Back' addresses the conflicts of a young woman's self-esteem, her youthful ideals and her struggle to reconcile the two. Editing, design, cinematography and audio quality are only fair at best, but a soundtrack with an interesting mix of Seattle bands and a cleverly executed premise make for an interesting first outing.
