Review of The Myth of the American Sleepover (2011) by Diegosanrobles — 16 Jan 2012
What struck me about this movie is its push for timelessness. I don't remember the kids using cell phones or mentioning facebook (unless I missed it) so in a way it does have the nostalgic tone that most of these day-in-the-life-of-teens mosaic films generally have, even if I think this is supposed to be contemporary.
We have seen these interlocking stories about teen awakening before, but what this filmmaker is interested in is stripping it down so much that its strive for authenticity somewhat fails when one storyline feels a bit lacking (the college-age kid being creepy with twins he may have shared a moment with in high school).
