Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
