At the heart of Olympia’s original take on the coming-to-adulthood narrative is McKenzie Chinn’s performance as the title character. Balancing Olympia’s creative vision and determination to lead her own life with undertones of fragility and a lack of confidence, she portrays a complex and fully human burgeoning artist. Her chemistry with Charles Andrew Gardner, as Felix, is palpable. We witness the arc of the development of their relationship via periodic flashback, interspersed with the action. Their story - indeed the entire world of the film - is overlaid with drawings that reflect Olympia’s personal vision of life’s quotidian happenings. The result is a drama of maturation colored by the intimate look at the whimsical musings of its’ protagonist.
