Loved this movie so much!

I really enjoyed everything about thus film. I LOVED Cameron Monaghan & Juliette Lewis as his mom. The girl lead was incredible. The acting across the board was so good, the story was so real it felt at times like I was back in the 90s hanging with my little brother & his friends. I also LOVED the soundtrack! Kudos to the music supervisor! Great film!

Sensitive and well put together adaptation of a great book

My head is shaking - this film so does not deserve a low score - the adaptation is top class and the acting is exceptional - the young leads are a lovely surprise - some of the themes in this are grim so it is not a film for tweens or young teens and it may be triggering for some - but a contemporary work of art that celebrates the need to find your voice, discover your gifts and understand the great value we each bring to the world :)

Misses the Mark

Rather a slog for the first hour and a half but it comes together somewhat in the final 15 minutes. Too little--too late, as I see it. Juliette Lewis, as usual, brings lots of life to the screen in her role. Overall, the plot and the characters here are too disjointed and not developed enough to have the dramatic impact it might have had.

To note: there were no subtitles available on my DVD copy.

A beautiful look at teenage angst

I absolutely loved this movie. The soundtrack alone is just amazing. Luke's character is, I think, relatable to every teenager who ever felt misunderstood, or misplaced, or had a hard time fitting in. And their heartbreaking friendship with Fang, the loss of innocence - it is just beautiful.

Wonderfully told coming of age film

This film takes you through the journey of characters as they discover their relevance in their world, their vulnerability, humanity and sexuality. The characters in the film are vulnerable, grounded and all play an important role in bringing the story come to life. I especially loved the relationship Luke had with his mother "Juliette Lewis" The chemistry between Cameron and Peyton also felt very honest and the storyline left you with the feeling that all the events could actually happen. Really liked the storyline between the two friends Cameron and Grayson and the ending really gave you a feeling that something good can still come out of the most difficult of circumstances. Also loved the 90's theme as I grew up in this era and the music, scenery, wardrobe etc gave an authentic feeling of that time period.
