Mara and Jo are childhood friends. It’s hard to believe that these two disparate young women who went into different directions in life are best friends. One needs to get to know them gradually in order to understand the dynamics of their relationship. Spanning many years, writer-director Dan Sallitt shows what’s common and not between Mara and Jo through daily events that might at first seem mundane. In a much-missed old-school American indie style Fourteen handles the sporadic friendship between two women with fitting sentimentality.
