What a pleasant surprise this little gem turned out to be. I'm hard pressed to think of any high school movie that was as clever, honest and insightful as this one. It tackles overly familiar issues such as abuse, suicide, sexual identity, drugs, adolescent confusion and the hardships of fitting in. Yet it does so with such ease and matter of fact maturity that you forget this is essentially just another coming of age high school movie. It manages to be both funny and deep which, especially nowadays, is a very tricky balancing act. The young cast is terrific, particularly Ezra Miller as the self appointed school iconoclast. A poignant, excellent film, one that will strike a chord with audiences of all ages.
