About
If you like tense, intimate coming-of-age dramas about friendships that turn toxic, this may land hard, especially if you enjoyed Close or Tomboy; Not for you if you want light teen stories or clear-cut heroes.
Pros: intense emotional ride; strong lead performances; gripping teen drama | Cons: familiar setup; slow middle stretch; ending feels abrupt
