I enjoyed the movie as well. The camera and dialogue flow naturally so as to let the characters breath and feel that much more credible. Star was something of a defining role for Sasha Lane, where she absolutely nails the gamut of raw emotions so characteristic of late adolescence. Le Beouf paints a realistic portrait of the deadbeat charmer, Jake, and the story is both poignant and hopeful. I love how it ended. The idea seemed to me that as disadvantaged as these kids were, they still had their youth and each other, and somehow, they'd be alright. I've always wondered if other people felt it that way.

You know I’ll sign up!! I was signed up for the previous one you did that wasn’t popular enough. One that I just watched and found so fascinating as far as inspiration for novel writing is Biosphere.
