Grow a little

Rating: 10/10 (3 September 2005)

This film is one of the best teen movies, I first watched it ten years ago when I was 12. I was hooked,you may assume that to occupy the mind of a 12 year old would be simple. But for a film to hold its charm throughout the whole period in which a teen "grows up" for a whole decade its truly incredible. It wasn't just because of the cast (although it is a good one) it was a mix of passionate music and dark humour, intelligent undertones suggesting subtle but impactive multi- stranded narratives each coping with their own dilemma. However big or small. The film satisfyingly draws you in. You feel every-thing for the film and the characters in it, that Allan Moyles wants you to feel. It is a great great film, which why after ten years after I first saw it (and poss about 195 viewings) I can still sit here and talk about it.
