Familiar, even universal issues of growing up, identity, and intimacy are presented with a lyrical, dreamlike tone.
Everything is subtext, as scenes float by with little grounding or purpose outside of compositional beauty.
The obvious artifice doesn’t change the film’s essential adolescent truth. High school is all about “being lonely.”
The film asks us to indulge and share the privacy of its characters. That’s its moody, free-floating allure.
Even when it grows too enamored of its own lyrical driftiness, there’s undeniable skill in Patterson’s use of space, color and sound. The movie might have worked as a mood piece; at times it almost does.
Nothing concrete emerges from this haze of oblique editing and barely written scenes, acted by cast members who are not up to making the dialogue sound convincing or filling the voids left in place of their characters.
