    best days of your life?
    Movie night with Iris.

    Rough around the edges tale of high school hostile cliques. It has hints of Catcher in the Rye. And has to be applauded fro a black, female dominance.

    There is a stylised, numbness throughout. Indeed it doesn't really lead anywhere. The film has an interesting take on what high school is really like - not the Hollywood coming-of-age drama. School is dull and messy, like everything else in real life.
