Its a drama that is set in 1999 ohio, that reaches over many aspects of life when growing up, the fysical and psycological gain and pain of growing up are for many a tough transition and well reflected in this film. it handles issues as drug use, relations to parents, falling in love,puzzling thoughts ablout gender, violence, pressure from school etc. most of all its a sad story, where ambivalens is a key factor.
tecnically its on average and not a blockbuster, but im sure that everybody that was at that age in 1999 will find reckon in some of the characters. the story are a bit springing anjd when the end is there you feel like ,''did i miss something''? the actors are mostly actors ive seen in low budget productions, b-level flicks, but they do a solid job allover
it has got a good twist in the end for sure, and i will therefore recommend a view, the grumpy old man mustve shut off the squemish button you might think but its a reasonably good product.
