There have been many coming of age films, but this one was more emotionally expansive and well put together. I haven't read the novel, but may have to now if it's written as well as this screenplay. I'm not sure if my popcorn munching made me miss this, but what happened to her dad? If it was left out, it was a big error. Directing was great, and the cinematography and soundtrack were on point. The 92 min runtime was just right with the fair pacing. Casting was perfect, with Auli'i Cravalho nailing her role. It was a great fit to see the legendary Carol Burnett, and Fred Armisen. I certainly recommend this film, especially to all the teens out there who complain their life is hard - because they didn't get the newest iPhone first lol. It's a good reality check that is humbling with real world struggles. It's a well deserved 8/10 from me.
