Part of me hates movies like this. Sure, I’m not entirely
adverse to coming-of-age stories, as I’ve covered some pretty damn good ones
over the last few years like You’re Not Thinking Straight, The Edge Of Seventeen, Lady Bird and Love, Simon. However, the part of me that dislikes
going out to see this category of cinema, and something that reaches somewhat
of an apex with this film, is a very specific type of cringe. The kind that
comes from seeing adolescents and teenagers struggling with their own
awkwardness in a school setting, making one realise just how awkward they
themselves were at that age. If that’s not the feeling you get from seeing
films like this, I'm assuming you come from somewhere in Andromeda.
