Witness meets Almost Famous by way of early Gus Van Sant in this gleefully odd, dazzling coming of age tale. Electrick Children follows young Mormon girl Rachel (Julia Garner), who awakens one day to find herself inexplicably pregnant after secretly listening to a forbidden tape of The Nerves classic hit Hanging on the Telephone. Facing shame in her community and a forced marriage, Rachel flees and, accompanied by her stern cousin Mr Will (Liam Aiken) hits the road in search of the singer on the tape the man she is convinced has made her pregnant through music. Lost in Las Vegas, the oddball pair fall in with a bunch of slacker skater punks led by dreamy lost boy Clyde (Rory Culkin) and are thrown into a very different new world full of music, romance and possibility.
