Standout Aspects

Acting

Brendan Sexton III's wounded, watchful stillness.

Direction

Freeman's documentary-style intimacy on no budget.

Writing

Dialogue that actually sounds like teens talking.

Best for:Solo: Late night when you want to feel something bad.·Rewatch: Rediscovering 90s indie cinema's unpolished heart.
Heads up:Violence: Teen-on-teen brutality, casual and unglamorous.·Emotional: Hope is dangled then systematically crushed.
