Everyone in this movie is doing coke off screen. Their energy! I got tired watching.
It’s remarkably textbook but at the same time it defies all rules.
We’re hooked into the environment when we meet a fast-talking charmer, almost too southern to understand.
The first first ten minutes is a literal circus parade around Cayuga HS and the surrounding town while this guy?(is he a student? Is this guy a teacher? Is it weird that he’s kinda flirting with this 16 yr old girl?) talks at 100mph.
Really fun traveling shots across the landscape, they too help hook the audience in the early half of this film when action is low and dialogue is fast and heavy.
Overall, big shout out to Photo/Post crew. Visual composition and creative editing saved a good script from becoming a boring movie.
We’re going on a journey with them, and the camera reflects that in its long traveling shots and scenes.
I really enjoyed the conversation and mystery. I felt apart of the team, like we were figuring things out together.
