English I can't help but feel that lately there are just too many movies like this about kids gradually growing up. These kids aren't quite coming of age yet; they're more trying to come to terms with their own reality, but that doesn't change the fact that I was simply bored by it. The intention is good, but I'm just tired of this kind of film. ()
