DEAR LEMON LIMA

Dear Lemon Lima is a quirky beauty of a film with its cotton-candy colors, Miranda July-esque sensibility, and its embracing of alienation as a source of creativity.
-Slant Magazine
...beautiful compositions and super-lush lensing bring a candy-colored sheen to Yoonessi’s universe, where wilderness and suburban life meet, and semi-innocent nostalgia commingles with the characters’ often sarcastic contemporary sensibilities.
-Variety
A classic triumph-of-the-underdog plotline unfolds, but the real joy of this delightful film is the spot-on incidental detail. Yoonessi observes her characters’ often odd behaviour from an unjudgemental distance, so depicting the messy business of growing up with a distinctive and authentic style.
