In the short film, the male lead character is in his twenties. For the feature film, Jamie Dack increased the age gap between Lea and Tom to emphasize the power imbalance between the two.

[Lea sits in silent disbelief]
Jared: Oh, come on. Don't gimme that confused look. We all know that you've been hanging out with the geriatric.
Amber: Jared, you asshole.
[to Lea]

Jared: He's a pedophile.
[Lea is clearly upset]

[guys laugh]
Jared: You don't know what you're talking about.

Amber: Disgusting, Patrick.
Darren: No, you didn't.
Patrick: Yes I did.
Darren: No, you didn't.
Patrick: On that trip with my family to Mexico I told you about. I swear to God, bro. I'm not kidding, older women, they feel different. It's like, not as good. I think it like, it like... stretches out over time or something.
Jared: I'm too high for this.
Patrick: I'm just saying like, this guy's lucky.

Wow!

Palm trees and Power Lines is the story of a bored girl who is emerging on adolescence. She meets a much older man who seems to understand her like she wishes others did.

So per my IMDb page I have seen 439 horror movies in my life... plus obviously many others. This film is without a doubt one of the most cringy and disturbing I have ever seen. This is not for the feint of heart. It also may not go in the direction you immediately assume.

The screen play is spot on , crafting a realistic story and character motivations. The acting and casting here is also very strong with Lily McInerny playing a girl 5 years younger than she is in real life to protection. You feel her frustrations with her circumstances and lack of belonging. Johnathon Tucker also plays his character very well in a role that demands a certain level of performance.

The only negatives I can even conjure up here is the entire film is shot on hand help and sometimes it becomes jarring to watch. Mundane conversations can be unappealing to look at and it isn't shot the best.

This movie absolutely nails what it was going for and should be seen by the right group of people but it isn't for everyone just the same. If you can take being shocked, offended and challenged by a take on a coming of age story - this is a great film.
