A Truthful, genuine, regularly amusing girl take a gander at what it feels to grow up as a young lady in the present current world. Everybody realizes that growing up is hard, and life is no less demanding for secondary school junior Nadine
This first-rate teen comedy brilliantly captures the turbulence of adolescence thanks to writer-director Kelly Fremon Craig's smartly funny script and to Steinfeld's terrific lead performance.
Fremon's film has some of the 80's teen aroma of its classic Say Anything (1989), which makes it an inescapable date for those who longed for a quality youthful comedy. [Full review in Spanish]
This is a movie about a teen, first and foremost, rather than a "teen movie," and that's exactly what makes it feel like a peerless example for the genre.
A gloriously real story that feels as timeless as the great teen comedies of John Hughes, and as painful as My So-Called Life. It's the kind of movie that only comes around once every decade or so, but it's well worth the wait.
