Adolescence 2025
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Technically brilliant with immense talent all around. Stephen Graham’s performance is really something to behold. Him laying the flowers down at the crime scene as we watch him mourn for not just the loss of his son, but a sort of lost innocence that the world will never gain back after this era, is a gut punch.

It was just mundane tasks sandwiched between blunt accounts of unspeakable violence that was hardly explored or given any pause. These people deserved better stories, but they also deserve a better telling of the ones that exist.
