rose-colored glasses

In an interview prior to the book’s publication, Henry said she had “rose-colored glasses” during their relationship.

“There’s this idea that being hopeful is like putting on a pair of rose-colored glasses,” Zaki, who has spent 20 years studying kindness, connection and empathy said in an interview.

But that’s exactly what director Megan Park’s feature debut is: a short, sweet gem of a coming-of-age story that will leave you looking back at your adolescence with rose-colored glasses.

“You can look back through rose-colored glasses, but it’s false. Things were difficult. But we’re still reaping some of those rewards.”

The film hits theaters just a week after Pixar’s “Inside Out 2,” in which Squibb delivers a standout turn as the new emotion Nostalgia — “a funny little lady with rose-colored glasses,” in her words — making this truly the Summer of Squibb.
