Before Euphoria, Sydney Sweeney Starred In An Overlooked Psychological Thriller That’s Streaming For Free
Oscilloscope
2019 was a big year for Sydney Sweeney, marking her debut as Cassie Howard in HBO’s “Euphoria.” That proved to be her breakout role, but it wasn’t her only memorable performance of 2019. That same year appeared in “Clementine” as Lana, a mysterious and beguiling figure who enters into a complicated relationship with another woman trying to reckon with a recently-ended love affair. Like Sweeney’s character, the movie is hard to pin down. As Variety‘s Lisa Kennedy noted in her review, you’re never quite sure whether this is “a coming-of-age meditation or a psychosexual thriller,” a “breakup drama or simmering horror flick,” making it a compelling watch throughout. All of which makes it a shame this one got lost in the shuffle — a result of having been overshadowed by Sweeney’s “Euphoria” debut and the global pandemic of 2020.
