Viewing Notes

Caught this after work. Moviepass didn’t work. :-( Still very happy to see this film as it’s quite an excellent coming of age movie with a solid cast. Hilarious seeing Tom Savini as the shop teacher. Like that this is set in the 80s without ever spelling it out. Very nice use of David Bowie’s Heroes, a favorite of mine. Also could work as a side story from We Need To Talk About Kevin if you want to look at it that way.
