This is possibly the best movie I've seen all year.
It was an independent film that got picked up for limited release at Sundance in Sept 2013.
All of the characters are very real, the acting is amazing (both of the principle actors went on to bigger roles). It is incredibly easy to get sucked into this movie because the characters are so lovable and the actors do a perfect job of portraying them--I am persuaded to think that the actors lives simply MUST have been very similar to these characters because they are so perfect for the roles.
The story is hearty. Initially, I thought this would be a cheesy love story that I would watch at home alone when I was bored out of my mind, but the story is actually about something bigger--it touches on all aspects of the human condition.
The only drawback to this story is that it is a high school film written for a mature audience. If you give it the leeway to be what it is--a film about high school students senior year--and you don't judge the characters for being young, stupid, and innocent, you realize the film applies to all ages of life.
The ending is very positive. Watch this film. It's on Amazon Prime right now, but if you don't have the account I definitely recommend you rent it because this is a must see for this summer. Watch it alone or with someone, but be prepared to take it seriously and allow yourself to get attached to it.
