Reviews
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
