We talked about favourite films on whatsapp recently, and I felt it's only right for me to introduce you to the most recent addition to my list. The Spectacular Now.
It's a film about a guy in his last year of high school who always lives in the now, and has no real plans for the future. There are a lot of layers in the film, and the way it was filmed, scripted, everything... just felt real, and raw, and did I say it felt real? It's not sugar-coated, it's not exaggerated. In that way it may seem like it's boring and uneventful, but to me that's spectacular. It hit reality, unlike most coming-of-age films I've seen. If you have a chance to watch it, I hope you will.
