portrays that high school phase of life to the perfection. breathtaking visuals. the acting was amazing, especially kilmer’s job on teddy
this movie isn't really about anything at all, but i loved the whole vibe and idk i just really like it for some reason
It did an amazing job at uniquely capturing the struggles of teens. Loved the intimate & realistic feel it gave off.
Takes you in the lives of kinda lost teenagers. Great aesthetics, cast and characters. A must watch if you enjoy (quite) indie movies.
Very genuine and relatable film dealing with many issues commonly faced by teens.
Effective at making you constantly feel uneasy. Interesting characters, with an unsatisfying plot and ending.
See this if you don't mind slow, kind of introspective stuff. In a way it's the strangest coming of age story I've ever seen&it's great too!
Related to a lot of things that happened in the film which is strange to me. Acted well but very little character development.
Good casting doesn’t make up for the heavy pedophilia and casual racism
Sums up the awkwardness of high school pretty well
