Another Friday postwork sad sad sad bastard movie: a bunch of teenagers, none of whom is really bad and none of whom is stupid, but each of whom repeatedly raises the fuckup bar. Very good, very real, and very, very disturbing directorial debut by another Coppola, Gia (granddaughter of Francis, niece of Sofia and Roman), who adapted the screenplay from a collection of short stories by James Franco, who also appears as a boundaries-violating teacher and girls' soccer coach.
