Best coming of age film I've ever seen. Actually never would have watched this based on a trailer or description, but a buddy was telling me about Bo Burnham and said we should watch it. I've seen it about 4 times now. The story feels real and was acted perfectly... the soundtrack also keeps the tempo, making it an all around great film, imo.
possibly my only nitpicks is the fire pit discussion - I realize it was a moment that needed buildup, but ever since my first watch, the dialogue and tempo of that scene has felt off. Burning the time capsule (and the dad opening up about his divorce) were still very important moments.
One of my favorite scenes was when Kayla opens the door to the backyard at the pool party - the music has a huge buildup to convey the anxiety, and it set to a montage of kids doing silly / playful things that are clearly overwhelming to Kayla. Anyone who can relate will appreciate how well they nailed that feeling!
