Reviews
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
