teenage-love

Watched it with my son, who was seeing it for the first time. He thought it was great and is excited to see the sequels over the weekend.

The leads are terrific: so natural it feels effortless. And the production is immaculate, as always with PTA. But it still plays like a string of fascinating vignettes rather than a fully great film. The stakes stay too low, the runtime feels too long… though I have to admit, I liked it more this time. Half a star bump.
