Let's be realistic.

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

It might have been fresh for the time, but it's old, tired and cliche'. I'm not going into any deep analysis of this series, because it's not even worth the time to write about this bilge.
