  Adolescence 2025

  Watched 23 Mar 2025 1

  If you’re making a story about the manosphere radicalising children, about rising misogyny, about the murder of a teenage girl by a male classmate, you probably want to do things like:

  A stage play that got the Super 70mm treatment. I'm almost impressed at how spiteful and nihilistic this is, sitting between Django's heroic crusade and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood's nostalgic hangout. If it weren't for the little humanising character moments, this would be so adolescent it might as well be wearing a pair of Doc Martens.

  Walton Goggins walked away with this. Chris Mannix looks like some dumb Johnny Reb hick but is much sharper than he lets on. A true Guy I Love To See
