I rented this on Amazon the other day and it was a very good watch. Perfect for a quiet night in. It hit really good notes of weird/quirky while also having a decent bit of depth and intensity. I came away feeling like it was a sillier style of The Squid and the Whale.
I had no idea who Theo Taplitz was before I watched this, but good grief did he knock this role out of the park! I'm someone who enjoys individual performances more than the actual movies themselves, and he really stood out.
His character is your typical awkward outcast teen, but he brings a veteran-like emotional and sometimes devastating aspect to the character that helps you get inside of his head and relate to what he is going through.
100% recommend for anyone who likes these quirky coming-of-age type movies!
