Alright, my expecttations for this one were very high, so I unfortunately was a little disappointed. The actors are all great (what a cast!), but the direction for this film was just off. The director seems much more concerned with his shots and the cinematography than what is actually happening with the story or the characters. I really didn't connect with it (despite some touching work by the kids and Connie Britton) - they just tried way too hard to make it an art house film when that isn't what this story is.

I like that the kids were all were different by the end of the film. There is a lot going on here, but it works almost all the time. Glad to see prducer Sara Ramirez giving her fans from Grey's Anatomy the type of content that they've come to respect her for. Loserville has diverse female and LGBTQ characters (a lesbian, a bisexual GUY, and a kid who is open to figuring things out), and it is also great to see multiple Latinx performers onscreen. This film is a good movie to show teenagers because it does have it's heart in the right place without being condescending about it.
