COMING OF AGE CINEMA: BIG TIME ADOLESCENCE (directed by Jason Orley)
It’s no secret by now that I’m a huge fan of coming of age films. Maybe it’s because as I enter my mid twenties, I’m growing more and more nostalgic for those teenage years where everything started to change. Those moments where life was so chaotic and everything was new.
This film really captures the feeling of growing up in today’s day and age. Most of the best coming of age films that I love (Stand By Me, The Breakfast Club, Lady Bird, Billy Elliot) all take place in the past. But this sheds a really good light on the idea of coming of age in a time where masculinity is being given a mirror.
This movie succeeds because the dialogue is very well written. It’s organic and natural, and you have a cast that delivers it with honesty, wit, and spark. Griffin Gluck is perfect as Mo. He’s quirky, awkward, but MAN in that scene where he breaks down in front of Zeke, that was some really powerful shit right there. Speaking of Zeke, this is the movie that made me realize I LOVE Pete Davidson. Spot on casting (was this role written for him?) and I can’t imagine anyone else in this role. The rest of the supporting cast really hold their own, but the movie focuses on this relationship, and those two really deliver.
The heart of this movie is in a scene where Mo is playing baseball and his dad is telling him to keep swinging, even if you strike out. Mo listens instead to Zeke, who tells him to cheat a bit, and duck, so the pitcher is forced to walk him. It’s the easy way out. We see this role reversal by the end of the film as well. At the beginning Mo looked up to Zeke and really wanted Zeke’s approval, but by the end it’s the complete other way around. Whenever a movie is able to do that seamlessly, I think congrats is definitely due. If you haven’t checked this film out yet, I really recommend you do, it’s streaming on Hulu right now!
No one is ever going to believe that shit.
THE LAST OF US PART II ✖ GROUND ZERO
You’d have liked it here - There are no towns, just small caravans that move up and down the coast. Everyone says Santa Barbara is haunted. Like some Bermuda Triangle. I think it’s beautiful.
I saw a seal the other day. It had spots. Is this some karmic way of you mocking me?
