Nothing Will Ever Be This Good

Rating: 10/10 (3 March 2018)

This film is truly one of kind. There is nothing else out there like it, and nothing will ever be like this film. It is a movie that encapsulates being a teenager so perfectly, and truly pulls back the facade of teenage cynicism to reveal real people going through real problems.
Throughout the film, we follow five teens who are in Saturday detention. Why it may sound like the most mundane concept ever, it is one that ending becoming the most famous high school film of all time.
Each character is so diverse in their own way. We can connect with them and how they feel about other characters, and even themselves. This is a film that is primarily driven by dialogue in its single setting location, and none of it comes off cheesy, fake or scripted. Everything seems to genuine and authentic.
The only issue with this film is the ending. While a climax of a film doesn't require explosions or car chases, it needs to have some sort of closure. This film has a perfect closing narration done by one of the lead characters, but it just ends. There is no real resolution, and part of that might have to be due to the fact there is no overarching plot that is in most movies. The ending may be a bit dull and make you scratch your head, but for this type of film, it works perfectly.
This is THE high school movie you need to see. It will change your life. And Judd Nelson, is quite the stud.
