    Loved it! Spend a week in NYC recently and couldn’t stop thinking of how beautiful this film was. The DP Shabier Kirchner did a tremendous job!

    Beautiful and deeply layered film which tackles issues that go so easily unseen. It’s subtle in its execution and set in the very relatable playground of an end of year teen holiday. We’ve all had them or all know them, but there’s something special in putting a camera on it, that’s not drunk nor blurred, that’s just raw and honest with itself. Ending the film with Romy’s song Strong felt so appropriate!

    Impressive what Fukunaga does with this story! Always been a big fan of his and Dan Romer’s (composer) colabs. Thrilling from the start to finish and you really root for those kids growing up in such a horrible environment. 10/10 would watch again!
