Probably would have loved this in high school. I really shouldn’t compare it to Mysterious Skin because they’re both completely different movies doing completely different things but if we’re talking movies about teenagers that understand angst and deal with heavier subject matter, Mysterious Skin is a movie that really does the damn thing. 

This just felt a little too muddy and drowned out in it’s own ideas. Interesting but definitely left me wanting more. I know a lot of people claim this as Coppola’s best but in my stupid little opinion she tweaked everything this was missing in her later work. Made me want to watch Bling Ring.
