My American Cousin (1985)
Director: Sandy Wilson
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
A 12-year-old girl (Langrick) is stuck on a remote ranch in British Columbia in 1959 with her parents and five siblings. Her hormones play up when her American cousin (Wildman), 18, beautiful and very bored, comes to stay. The crunch comes when his folks turn up to take him home. A detailed, witty and highly sympathetic foray into the realm of adolescent sexuality, winner of six Genie awards in Canada.Author: TJ
