It's a little movie with a big heart. Really well written. Some of the scenes are just so real...like: take you back to that awful time in your life real. All the fronting like you have it all figured out. That checked out. The end is very bittersweet. Overall, really pleasantly surprised.

I was a theatre kid, so this was like looking in the mirror. Scary accurate. Also, the actors are all amazing.

I love coming-of-age films so I've seen tons of them - good and bad. This one surprised me so much I actually watched it a second time! The writing and the actors are so good - you really want to see what happens to all the characters after the film is over. Some of the scenes definitely resonated with me and made me think of what I was like in high school (cringe warning!). It took me a minute to get into the film - it opens with all of them "in character" at a costume party - but it's like peeling the layers of an onion as the film goes on. I couldn't stop thinking about it after it was over. Recommended if you like nuanced coming-of-age films.

An incredible little engine that could. This film really feels like it's own genre. It's smart, funny, camp, and thoughtful. Excellent filmmaking. Feels like spending time with old friends. Watch this now.

This film took me right back into my (awkward) high school years in a way that was really sweet and unexpected. The actors are all so good - especially Danielle Kay and Nick Pugliese. I laughed out loud so many times and definitely got a lump in my throat in the last scene. It all just felt so genuine. Definitely not your typical coming-of-age film.
