This film is a real sleeper and I can see it's gotten renewed attention because of
Timothee Chalamet and his Oscar nominated performance in a later film Call Me
By Your Name. Chalamet is real good here, but so are Anthony Quintal and Lili
Reinhardt the two other students being driven to a drama competition. And so
is Lily Rabe playing the English teacher who chaperones and drives them to the
competition.
These kids have a lot of growing up to do. But for Chalamet it's a real problem. He's taking behavioral medication but he feels it robs of his creative urge. His piece at the drama competition is a recitation of a monolog from Death Of A Salesman from the Biff character. It's the highlight of the film. I can sure see Timothee Chalamet doing the part on stage.
Lily Rabe is facing some issues herself and her's is also a performance to be noted and remembered.
I'm glad this film is getting renewed critical attention and acclaim.
