Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaRichard Linklater cast his daughter Lorelei Linklater as Samantha because she was always singing and dancing around the house and wanted to be in his movies. At about the third or fourth year of filming, she lost interest and asked for her character to be killed off. Linklater refused, saying it was too violent for what he was planning (Lorelei eventually regained her enthusiasm and continued with the project).
- GoofsWhen Mason is calling his dad using the iPhone, the image of him in the corner of the phone screen is not the same as how he looks while having the call. Notice his hair is very different.

Featured review
This film is about life. Not a hero's journey.
People qho give low ratings think that there is no content. Nothing is happening in the film. There is no build-up, no conflict.
But that's the point. It's not meant to be like that. Otherwise it would be another commercial film; A guy with a problem to solve. Or a guy wanting something and getting it/not getting it.
This film takes you on an experience of growing up. What changes occur during that time. How do kids react to parents at teenage. How changing father and homes affects them. How they think about life. How one usually grows in high school. If one is able to grow up and handle their own life? That's the content! It's a film about growing up.
If you still think there's no content in the film. I can't argue. These are just my thoughts and I am happy to think it has content. You might have a different taste in films, go find another film.
