Rec'd on 😃 FAVORITE COMING OF AGE FILMS?

I can’t really pick a favourite but I feel a real sentimental connection to this movie. I got to attend the premiere and watch the movie while I was 17.
HONOURABLE MENTIONS: Sing Street (2016) Bend It Like Beckham (2002) Raw (2016) Turning Red (2022)

@LUCIUS it’s one of my all time faves. also just love the use of cannibalism in romance/coming of age contexts

@LUCIUS being a teenage girl is really fucking hard so in some ways this makes a lot of sense to me

OMG yes god damn this movie was such a gut punch I'm so glad I have someone to talk abt it with. Like it is a comedy but also soooo not. Love woody harrelson and hailee steinfeld's dynamic.

@UMBERTOGECKO YES! It’s one of those movies that really captures how sucky it can be to be a teen but manages to be funny about it.

edge of seventeen

Watched this on a quiet afternoon and loved it. It reminded me a lot of the movie Eighth Grade but it tried to tap into a much more specific kind of situation. All the characters are super lovable and overall it strikes that perfect balance of lighthearted and serious that warrants a rewatch in the future.

ADVENTURELAND (2009)

one of my favorite movies. at 16 years old, watching it feels nostalgic in itself, but the picture it paints of the era in which it takes place is also nostalgic.
it’s a more real, defined, engulfing world than any i’ve ever experienced through film, and even though i know what happens, i feel the things the characters feel as they feel them. when vr allows us to live in a movie, theme park ride style, “Adventureland Summer” will be my first stop. this thing is dripping with nostalgic heartache to the tunes of the replacements and lou reed, every performance is great / super funny / heartbreaking in it’s own way.
as i’m typing this, i think i believe this is the best film ever made? that can’t be true, probably, but idk watch it you’ll love it and feel a lot.

THE HOLDOVERS!

i love this film more than myself: and it was incredible to watch in the cinema, the room was filled with older people (reliving the 70s college experience) and i was by myself, tearing up for most of it ♥︎
