Thomas Mann and Lily Mae Harrington in Some Freaks (2016)
When one-eyed high school senior Matt meets 250 lb. Jill, he falls more in love than he ever thought possible. However, after graduation comes and Jill moves cross-country to go to college, she then loses over 50 lbs and changes her appearance entirely - much to Matt's surprise when he arrives to visit her six months later. While Matt struggles to accept Jill's new choices, Jill begins to question whether Matt is really the man she wants to date. As the distance widens between them, the characters are propelled onto a collision course with brutality and loss, forcing them to confront who they are, who they were, and who everyone thinks they're supposed to be.

    Wow...
    That, actually, didn't feel embarrassing - which is no mean feat considering the genre. Films focused around adolescence have a tendency toward awkwardness. They also often have balancing issues; over-focusing one one aspect while missing another - thus failing to hit the relevant sweet spot.

    Somehow MacAllister McDonald manages to avoid ALL the potholes set out before him and delivers a delicate and relevant study of the adolescent mindset. Without being pretentious Some Freaks lures in the viewers into the teen spirit and keeps them there until the credits start roll.

    Casting and acting are also beneficial to the end result; exploring a rebellious period in a low key fashion. Thanks for that.
