Twelve-year-old Ella has a crush on her brother's best friend Moses, but uncovers a secret that changes the game for everyone involved. We Love Moses is an electrifying portrayal of how navigating the complexities of sex and power in girlhood is so inexplicable to parents and often requires taking matters into your own hands.
- DANIS GOULET
