Adolescence 2025
I was instantly mesmerized by Netflix latest limited series, Adolescence. Each episode filmed as one continuous shot, the series opens with the arrest of a young teenager, ripped from his home by the feds and charged with a serious crime.

Yes there are cliches but Holland carries this. It’s a little bit Rum Diary meets Heat at times, this movie leaves little avenue for imagination but provides a poignant allegory for the repercussions of life unrelenting 7/10

It is a well-crafted traveler story with plenty of laughs and cringe moments. Kieran carries the movie,…
