…is the story of Rachel, River, and Paul, three friends spending their summer waiting for it to end. We observe them over a week as they each deal with their own little struggles: Paul is hooking up with Bill, but he doesn’t really like him; River just found out that his ex-girlfriend is seeing someone else through Venmo; Rachel hates herself, disappearing into a fog of weed smoke and body image issues.
Yeah, they have their problems, but at least they have each other (and all the weed they smoke to help them get through it).
Oh, and Paul’s cousin, Zack, is visiting.

Letterboxd Reviews for My Friends
“Really great chemistry between the titular friends. Funny, charming, and thoughtful. Low budget done right”
- Justin Zuckerman
“Very faithful to the little worlds you build in friend groups and perfect for those late summer blues, suck it The Green Ray”
- John Earling
“Solid hangout movie, really encapsulated the bored summer vibe well. And out of all those posters, The Song Of The Sea one was my favorite.”
