About
If you like grounded, gritty coming-of-age dramas such as Sweet Thing or Chop Shop, this may work for you; Not for you if harsh bullying, teen angst, and a rough slice-of-life tone sound exhausting.
Pros: realistic coming-of-age story; strong young performances; emotional second half | Cons: very gritty tone; lots of bullying; limited character growth
