A very simplistic story with no edge. There is no uniqueness in the story, there is plenty of growing up first experience stuff and it's as cliche and uninteresting as you imagine. The questioning of religion is subpar as well. Every character is bland, no unique traits, cliche as it gets from the wardrobe and looks to the story elements.
I suppose the sad reality is that it perhaps was a true story, same movie under a different director could be made a horror or absurdist comedy. A suburban middle class American nightmare of sameness.
Don't know why it attracted some high quality actors and they do their job adequately, the production is good etc.
