    ★★★

    A British teenager deals with finding his place in the world ,his girlfriend and troubles in his parent's marriage in a comedy drama  .
     A sometimes fun coming of age story that gets more serious as it goes on . Some very distinctive Richard Ayoade dialogue and great performances by the cast .
     I could have done without the music video montages but overall it was a quality , enjoyable movie .

    Dark Encounter

    A young girl disappears , a year later her family comes home from a memorial and are surrounded by blinding lights .
     
     Yeah , this was bad . Lots of lights shining directly into the camera lens , some questionable acting and a terrible , unbelievable , nonsense ending . 
      At 90 minutes it seemed to go on for hours longer . It feels like two different stories jammed together to make a feature length movie and when the two stories combined didn’t make it to 90 minutes they decided to deliver the ending in slow motion .
