Synopsis |
|
This heartfelt coming-of-age story
follows several high school students
grappling with their sexuality in
Memphis Tennessee. Though
predominantly dealing with issues of
sexual orientation, the film appeals
to a wider audiences by painting a
revealing portrait of the larger
high school experience. The
characters in the film all struggle
with universal issues, like relating
to their parents, and trying fit in
while attempting to establish their
own identity. The film manages to
address the problem of homophobia
and encourages open-mindedness
without preaching. Director Morgan
Jon Fox uses handheld
cinematography, artistic camera
angles, and inexperienced (though
very convincing) actors to achieve a
highly natural effect. The result is
an insightful look at the experience
of growing up in a society that
sends mixed messages to its youth. |
