It’s been done before a hundred times
I don’t know why everyone is raving about this movie. It’s been done a hundred times before. It’s a coming of age drama. Girl lives in a town she doesn’t want to stay in. She fights with her mom. She needs to spread her wings. Blah blah blah. Last years coming of age movie Edge of Seventeen was infinitely better. I guess it’s sad that people are saying Lady Bird is one of the best movies of the year. It isn’t.

"Welcome to the Dollhouse is great. Even though it’s about a girl in middle school, to me, that feels like the most honest reflection of what being a kid around that age feels like. It’s just so bad. It’s like that movie captures the very worst moments of being that age so perfectly. Everything is unfair, everyone hates you, and the world is totally against you. It’s such a good coming-of-age movie."

A very unusual film. Quite erotic as an American student in Paris strikes up a relationship ship with a Brother and sister during the backdrop of student riots in '68. A quirky coming of age tale.

"For a playful mood, I’d turn to Murkami’s sexual coming of age novel. Bizarre and erotic, sensual and dreamy, this surrealistic page turner includes bibliophile and jazz subplots custom tailored to my nerd-dom."

"This brilliant film about a boy’s coming of age introduced me to French cinema. Malle creates a fascinating picture of French family life; it’s both a comedy and a story of alienation. The mood of the more intimate scenes stays with me, as does the great jazz score."

Set in 1992 in Boston, this coming-of-age story attempts to tackle the issues of class and race as from the viewpoint of David Greenfeld, one of the few white kids entering King Middle School. There David meets Marlon, a quite boy living in public housing down the block from David’s house, and somehow, they become unlikely friends. Together they’re hoping to get out of King and into the prestigious Latin school, which could pave their way to getting into college, maybe even Harvard. You can read more about this coming-of-age story in my review here.
