One of the best coming-of age films ever made.

Rating: 10/10 (7 April 2020)

Truly great films about youth, and especially high school, are a commodity. It's rare that I'm deeply impressed by one nowadays ("Lady Bird" and "Eighth Grade" being notable exceptions for the 2010's), so I decided to go back to Generation Z's favorite decade and finally see "The Breakfast Club" for myself. What a truly remarkable time capsule this is.
Hilarious and deeply moving, but also naturally acted and plotted without giving into overbearing sentimentality or too many of the silly trappings of the genre. For my money my viewing of this was definitely the opposite of the saying "Don't believe the hype."

Grade- A+
