Listen, this is an incredible movie. I've seen people comment on how this film is telling us to 'not listen to your parents and lie' and how the message of this movie is clearly wrong- well those people are obviously missing the point here.
It's about growing up! And that growing up is about finding yourself and finding a balance between making your parents proud AND finding out who YOU are, and not just being the perfect image of who the people around you expect you to be.
The director herself even said she's not quite sure what the answer is, or even is there is a balance, but that it's a mix between the two.
So yeah.
Watch this movie.
Enjoy it.
It's a wonderful tribute to growing up, dealing with changes, and finding yourself amongst it all. And if you're a parent watching this with your kid, and they ask 'uncomfortable' questions after it.. Just answer them truthfully and set a good example for them.
Yes, it might be hard. But so is growing up, right?
Incredible art style. Great humour. Amazing storyline. 10/10.
