This metascore is remarkably low

Rating: 10/10 (17 December 2018)

It's simply the best movie about the pressures of being a teenager in America ever made. It's the crowning achievement of a remarkable filmmaker. It's beautifully written. It's directed with incredible elegance, care and respect for the importance of the subject matter. Wonderfully acted by a number of current and future superstars.
Many of the problems our country currently faces can be better understood through watching this movie. 10 out of 10. Five Stars.
