"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."

Coming of age movie
In all a good high school teenage movie, never going win any Oscars but a nice, funny easy watch. Took 20 mins get going but sftefthsf plenty of laughs, good young cast of actors/actresses. Worth s watch.

"The Devil You Knew masterfully combines coming-of-age poignancy with the cliffhanging suspense of a noir thriller."

"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.

What an end to the phase
Im a massive Marvel fan and have to say I love this version of Spider-man, this film was a great end to the infinity saga and was really a coming of age for Spider-man. I saw a lot of the plot twists coming but one in big one caught me by surprise! Triangle sandwiches anyone?
