Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
