Teen films are so adolescent.
Things I liked about this film:
- Directed by a woman
- Features two female main characters and they are both women of color.
- Does not degrade or shame female sexuality.
- Highlights the difficulty young women have accessing sexual healthcare and birth control.
- Features an LGBTQ+ main character (although we don’t find out right away)
- Honest portrayal of the challenges to growing up gay in America – still today, 2021.
- Some scenes in the film were taped near where I live.
- Rachel Dratch cast as the worst sex ed teacher ever.
Things I did NOT like about this film:
- Teenagers everywhere.
- A disgusting and unbelievable blow job scene in a school playground. WHY? Just for the joke at the end? WHY?
