Big Time Adolescence (2019)
Writer-director Jason Orley was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance 2019 for this coming-of-age film that has an 86% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
IndieWire calls it “a portrait of youth in revolt”, while Entertainment says it’s “an endearingly messy portrait of boyhood and manhood”.
Rising star Griffin Gluck (Locke & Key) is straight-laced teen Mo, who comes of age under the destructive guidance of his 23-year-old best friend, an aimless, drug-dealing college dropout played by Pete Davidson (Saturday Night Live).
