Sarah Taylor’s hardscrabble life has turned her into a teenage terror. When her drama teacher helps her channel her ferocious wit into comedy, her life’s delicate balance is set on a collision course with her newfound passion.

What are critics saying?
The A.V. Club by Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
Jellyfish takes the kitchen-sink approach, piling on external inequities and indignities on its protagonist.
The Hollywood Reporter by Keith Uhlich
Sarah’s circumstances are so ridiculously dire that there’s little left to do but laugh at them.
There’s real feeling coursing through Jellyfish, even if its insights aren’t particularly trenchant.
