American Teen (#9)

I recommend this documentary highly.  The film follows four, archetypal  students through their final year of high school. We all know the school these kids go to, we all know the kids that populate the movie,the situations, and even the twist and turns. But that’s part of what makes this film so engrossing, the familiarity and honesty.  The filmmakers deserve an immense amount of credit for how deftly and creatively they tell this story, and for building the relationships with these kids that allow them not only access to their lives, but invites  really honest exchanges.  Great stuff.
