Brilliantly thought-out... I can tell you what any character is thinking at any point in the movie. Not that it's so simple and obvious, in fact there are several things that I missed the first (and second) time through. What I'm getting at, is that the dialogue and the emotions are realistically written and perfectly performed.
Shot on-location in Sandusky, this film gives plenty of opportunities for an Ohioan like me to say "I've been there!" and adds another dimension of realism. The only thing about the movie that disappointed me was that so many things were left uncertain at the end; but maybe the point is supposed to be that a "coming-of-age" story is never really finished.
