    It should be the American youth film that impressed me the most in recent years. The excavation and reflection on the problem of American teenagers’ enjoyment and alcoholism are wrapped in the youth story of growth and love. The shots are fresh, natural and not greasy. Yu Er could not disperse for a long time. The two protagonists are radiant. Roger Ebert said: The two protagonists in a youth film look and behave exactly like contemporary American teenagers. Do you know how rare this...

    I mainly wanted to watch this, because the same director watched the sober time together and liked this one more. There are still elements of drinking and fun, but the story is placed in the world of teenagers, interspersed with two broken families, and the pain of growing up is tied together. It seems that the individual still prefers. But there are not many highlights and nothing special....

    A small American town (Athens, Georgia) with good weather, a life that is unremarkable and troublesome, real and subtle facial expressions, human beings in adolescence, before they learn to posture proficiently and flaunt themselves, the moments of growth and breakage... are all I always love the point of "viewing". Although the burst drummer is crippled, the Pisces man is as lovable as a...

    There is our story in the story

    This is a film about growth. It has various problems and emotions in youth. The story is simple or even cliché, but it hits the heart and reaches the soul. The movie is very natural, especially in the first half. The interaction and communication between the male and female protagonists make...

The Spectacular Now quotes

  • Sutter: You're such a good listener.

    Aimee: No.

    Sutter: Um, alright. You go.

    Aimee: I remember, um, I think it was sophomore year, you came to gym class and you were wearing the mascot head and you refused to take it off. Yeah.

    [laughs]

    Sutter: [laughs] Yeah it was funny.

    [laughs]

    Sutter: Yeah, no, I mean, like, uh, what's a story about you?

    Aimee: About me? Um, I don't really have any stories.

    Sutter: What do you mean? Everyone's got a story.

    Aimee: Not me, I guess.

  • Sutter: As long as I can remember, I've never not been afraid. Afraid of failure... of letting people down... hurting people... getting hurt. I thought if I kept my guard up and focused on other things, other people... if I couldn't even feel it, well then no harm would come to me. I screwed up. Not only did I shut out the pain, I shut out everything - the good and the bad - until there was nothing.
