    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...
