Review of Wasted on the Young (2010) by Craig K — 08 Mar 2011

Cinematography is inspired, storyline well written, themes are provoking, action above standard, soundtrack and sets are impressively and perfectly matched to the story. If I was to make a complaint it would be some script issues and the purposeful dramatisation of the use of social media causes eyes to roll but all is forgiven as the film progresses.

Artistic, emotional, challenging, powerful, believable, well constructed and meticulously created it will take you to another place and yet will still cause you to reflect on your own experience in away that no other teen movie ever has. I didn't forget it was an Australian film, but for once that knowledge made me proud. Highly recommended. It requires far more attention and publicity.
