A teenager tries to deal with his guilty conscience after his role in a prank that causes the death of his girlfriend's older brother.
Grass Stains
the screenplay probably looked something like this:
CONRAD’S FRIENDS:
[acting like assholes and ostracizing him]
CUE: WEIRD GUITAR INTERLUDE
KAITLYN DEVER:
I am a character used only for advancing the plot forward and being the protagonist’s love interest.
CONRAD’S FRIENDS:
[act like assholes again]
CUE: MISPLACED COMING OF AGE MUSIC THEN ZOOM-IN’S ON THREE FUTURE INDIE STARS AND THE KID FROM SUPER 8’S BABYFACES
I liked the leads, but I felt like this was nothing new and it bored me despite having seemingly high stakes and “perspective” by having the older version of the main character narrate.
This is the 232nd film I’ve seen using Movie Pass.
Vegan alert:
-Someone asks Tye Sheridan to eat a burger to put “more meat” on his “bones”.
-A deer is hit by a car.
-Someone brings a family a tuna noodle casserole.
ok but no 16yr old boy actually has deep thoughts like these and says them out loud to the girl he likes.
Can you believe I actually spent more time wondering if that bridge in the woods at the beginning of the movie actually was the one from Dirty Dancing (1987) than I spent time paying attention to my boy Tye... that’s how boring and bland this movie is
i blame films for always casting soft sad white boys with brown hair and blue/green eyes for my love for soft sad white boys who have brown hair and blue/green eyes.
I REALLY wanted this to be great. It has everything I love in coming of age movies: fireworks, summer, cute girl, really hipster soundtrack, messages about the loss of innocence
BUT NO THIS SUCKS! IM REALLY MAD GUYS
But Kaitlyn Dever is my new fav actress and I can't freaking wait for Beautiful Boy. I'm telling you guys, she's going to be the breakout star of 2018
am I the only one who saw that at the end he named his SON after the guy he KILLED????? WHAT THE HELL???
i really need to get rid of this belief that if i watch anything with kaitlyn dever in it, she’ll date me
this is so sad because they really put austin abrams, tye sheridan, and kaitlyn dever in one movie and it was BAD
At one point our Queen and Saviour Kaitlyn Dever yells “I don’t want to see your face!!” at Tye Sheridan and just like same.
