In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
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.
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
