My 3 favorites:
- Eighth Grade - Probably the most insightful coming-of-age film I've seen. It explores the pressures of being a young teenage girl in the age of social media. Definitely a good pick if you're in the mood to feel some feelings and want something realistic.
- The Spectacular Now - Has a fantastic summertime nostalgia vibe, though it gets kinda heavy. It made me feel wistful for a time and place that I never experienced.
- The Edge of Seventeen - A bit lighter in tone, more like The Way Way Back. Basically about a girl learning to be more thoughtful and self-aware. The lead actress is great.
