Reviews
Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
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.
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
