Getting lost

One summer, 14-year-old Duncan (played by Liam James) went to Trent's seaside cottage for vacation with his mother Pam, his mother's boyfriend Trent and Trent's daughter. Like most children from divorced families, Duncan doesn't like his mom's boyfriend. Duncan finds himself at odds with Trent's friends, and his already taciturn nature becomes even more unhappy. Until he met Owen (Sam Rockwell) on a bicycle outing. Owen is a staff member of the local water park. Under Owen's introduction,...

Growth is a lifetime thing

Growth has always been an important theme in movies. Although most of these films feature adolescent children as the protagonists and observe the surroundings from their perspective, it is by no means only about describing the pain and sorrow of adolescence, but more about reflecting the absurdity and helplessness in the adult world. And confusion thus has the spirit of reflection. There is a class of American films that has such a tradition. They have extremely life-like bland narratives,...

We all know that turning back is the shore, but there must be someone who can help you fuel the flames.

It's unclear to me whether this film should be described as a biography or a coming-of-age series.

      At the beginning I thought it would be a movie about schizophrenia or depression in teenagers, but after seeing it, I thought its plot was very realistic. I also encountered Duncan's situation and thought that it was not a divorce of parents. It's a sense of insecurity, but I'm not as lucky as Dunkan. There were two people in his life who gave him hope and motivation to help him...

not bad

Duncan (Liam James) is a sullen kid who goes with his mom (Toni Collette) to relax at his new boyfriend's summer house, who doesn't care much about his new boyfriend (Steve Carell).

The protagonist runs to a water park to work in order to hide his leisure, where he meets Owen, the manager played by Sam Rockwell. With the help of new friends, Duncan...

To the boy who feels lonely like me

This is a film review, or a post-view, from the movie "The way, way back" by Nate Fason.




I have had a summer.

This summer is hot and lonely.

And then, adolescence was dancing in my life, clamoring and whistling, proving it was coming.

At that time, I suddenly became autistic, especially to my parents, they said, I started to have my own mind and little secrets.

It was also at that time that I fell in love with the girl next door,...

Many times people do not become brave because they grow up, and fear of losing becomes a kind of life bondage. The male protagonist weakly resisted his mother's boyfriend who never knew how to respect other people's mothers, and met a windy man in depression. The kindness and freedom are indeed deeply attractive and infectious. The strength drawn by the boy finally made the mother give up before the unworthy possession. Many times, it is better to let go of pain than to have...

A short vacation for an autistic child looking for joy and confidence. Although the overall feeling is somewhat similar to "Adventure Paradise", the plot unfolds too fast, the characters are not portrayed enough, and the director wants to say too many things, but in the end it seems a bit shallow and...
