Reviews
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
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.
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
