Review of American Teen (2008) by Michelle C — 29 Mar 2009

The thing that is most fascinating about this film is the period of self-discovery the kids' been granted. An epilogue during the closing credits feels like a 4th act. After seeing the celluloid version of themselves, they each seemed to gain a clarity of character I wish was afforded to every teen struggling through high school.

Hopefully, teens worldwide will see this film. I think the ones that do will find a way to relate & maybe they'll walk out knowing everything is going to be all right. This film can do that.
