User Reviews

quietly charming

this film doesn't really have a plot, rather it's a character study. i found the characters very realistic, and three-dimensional, as opposed to the stereo-types we are usually offered (i can well imagine what Hollywood would have done with the same plot scenario). a quiet, observant and mature film about human nature, focusing on teenagers in this case. all the actors deserve praise for making the characters so real. there's a level of spontaneity here that is very rare in Hollywood films.
