Dryland

I forgot about this one earlier, because honestly, it didn't leave that much of an impression on me. I didn't hate it. I didn't particularly love it. It was just sort of meh. Julie is a confused teen, living in Portland in 1992. Her older brother, Jordan, was a big time swim star who's now living overseas. Julie develops a fascination with a girl named Alexis, who talks her into joining the swim team. Julie isn't really any good at it, and she doesn't enjoy it, but she likes the attention from Alexis so she keeps at it. Sara Jaffe's voice is definitely great, she's got the teen thing nailed, especially in the early '90s, it felt very authentic. It just didn't do much for me.
