"I love adolescence and the adolescent mind. Written when she was 18, it’s romantic and so French. A coming of age and independence."

A fantastic story with a message that still resounds true to this day. A beautiful coming of age story that entrances, delights, and entertains.

A Witty Coming of Age Tale
This film was something else completely. From the well development of both major and minor characters this movie comes together to be a light hearted coming of age tale about two girls trying to do their best in a world they're not yet able to understand. I would watch this again and again!

I recently enjoyed this coming-of-age flick and thoroughly enjoyed it. Does anyone know what movie it is? I'd love to hear what you thought of it.

Love, Simon. I really enjoyed this movie. It was really interesting and sweet. Honestly one of the better coming-of-age/discovering sexuality movies that I've seen recently.

Yes, yes, and yes.
I love this series. Alex Lawther and Jessica Barden work so well together in this twisted coming-of-age/love story.

Dark humor laced with the finest of ironies. Dark subject matter inserted in a coming-of age story, in all its awkwardness. Loved it. (0 more)

This was a very good coming of age movie about first love. Many parts of it were very funny and then equally raw. The music and cinematography were incredible.

"God, I love huge breasts, and this one’s got two of the hugest-est. Also, it’s a coming-of-age teen sex comedy, but with fascism! Also, the boobs."

Unique, masterful coming-of-age film
Richard Linklater is incredible. He has such patience and a wonderful eye for human nature. To make a film over 11 years is no mean feat and yet he accomplished a unique and beautiful piece of art. The film itself is about the childhood and adolescence of Mason Evans Jr. and the subtle changes of growing up, that make this an original coming of age movie.
