Acerca desta película

Jack (Owen Campbell) is a high school student who lives with his single mother Karen (Mary Stuart Masterson) in a nondescript suburban town. Considered a social outcast and loner, Jack is friendless until Karen’s new boyfriend Tom (Scott Cohen) moves in and brings his son Mark (Charlie Heaton) into their lives. The two outsiders quickly bond and form a tight friendship and, after a chance encounter at a diner, bring fellow student Sarah (Amandla Stenberg) into their group. The three teens become each other’s saving grace until changing relationships and emerging secrets force them to look at themselves and see how far they are willing to go to live the lives they choose.

I first watched this movie back in 2017 when I was going through a very rough time, but rewatching this movie 3 years later I can still say that this is definitely still one of my favorites. If you are into films that have an grungy indie alternative vibe then this is your guy. Even with its flaws, its still a snapshot into the lives of teenagers messy coming-of-age story, mixed with enough romance and drama to leave you wanting more, craving to see more without needing a sequel.

This movie somehow does it all It's both simple and complex, beautiful yet horrific and Intense while still remaining playful.

this movie is incredible. I stayed up till 4 am to watch it and it was totally worth it. it left me thinking about it for days. it was simple yet complex, playful yet serious, and heartwarming yet heartbreaking.
