One bildungsroman, medium rare
Another coming of age book adaptation. This one's different though, enough to deserve a high rating. We step into the magical world of hot summer nights in Carp, Texas, and the odd and bloody exploits of the town's youth therein. Of course it's about the struggle of the underdog who has to confront her fears, what I mean by that is staring down death, quite literally. Setting aside the plot, the premise itself is an allegory of growing up. The acting, dialogue and cinematography are all decent, what got me was the score. A good soundtrack can elevate a show, and this one's perfect; Isabella Summers and Brian H. Kim deserve some praise.
