Teenagers. Their music. Their loneliness. And their own refuges. It is not easy to define it because it can be discovered as portrait of 1990 decade, about parenthood, about friendship, music and the entire ball defining the teens life, including suicide . It is not a remarkable film. Only a decent one, with beautiful sparkles of acting and a good soundtrack.
A well made film with bunch of emotions. Good directing.
The camera work is really on point! Michaela's Cavazos performance is fantastic! She has a well written character. Bri Da B's music is great - the music in the movie in general is perfect!
I loved all the scenes at the coffee shop!

I found it hard to rate this. If you're looking for an entertaining movie, this really isn't it. If you're looking for a pretty accurate depiction of a family with teenagers that's mostly rather depressing and pretty much of a downer, then this is for you.
Music is a central theme in the movie, making it watchable for me; the soundtrack is well-suited and pretty cool. The movie portrays some authentic teen (as well as the mom and dad's) angst while uncovering each's particular situation they're struggling with. Really good acting on everyone's part, and a good message. It's not at all uplifting. If you're struggling to get through it, at least be sure to fast forward to around 1:23-ish and watch the AA scene, which I consider to be the point of the movie and an important message for all to hear.

Great soundtrack, great storyline. Each generation has had its own version of "Suburbia", this would be the unnofficial new version
No the first time watching a Coming-of-Age movie so I know how these generally go, but there's something different about this movie, teens are rowdy and rude to their parents but their teen angst moves to seeking validity and the way their confusion and anger is shown, their immaturity is represented and is show and it's relatable because one way or another one felt relating to the suffering of these characters and especially I was misdiagnosed for ADHD as a teen so it hit home, definitely looking out for the producers and cast in the future
