A pretty interesting film. What could've been a rather basic and familiar coming of age drama, is turned upside down by a kooky premise. This adds a lot of comedy (and goodwill), making the more dramatic second half that much easier to stomach. Though I was slightly bummed the comedy is almost completely gone towards the finale. The actors do a solid job, the premise is explored beautifully, and the score is surprisingly stylish. The cinematography could've used a little extra work and the drama felt a tiny bit pedestrian in comparison, but the romance works well, and I left the film feeling like I'd seen something unique. Good stuff. Read all
