A softly-spoken film about the awkwardness and steep emotional learning-curve of adolescence that never fails to engage.
Whites are shown as using sex to exploit others and for solace after unhappy childhoods. Amid all this, lies a touching love story about a cute guy and a pretty girl - who prefers older men - that seems like it can go nowhere. An overly-honest romantic and a cynic makes for an uneasy combination as we wonder how this will all work out in the end. White music and fashions are ridiculed; while being admired as a vital part of growing up in that particular culture.
The adventure, here, lies in the journey, itself, not so much in the destination.
