I don’t think I’ll be quoting this one as frequently as the first, but I certainly see myself grabbing some popcorn and peanut M&M’s for a pretty epic double-feature in the future.

There's no doubt that Sachs is a master when it comes to crafting a stirring narrative.

Bong has some cache to make whatever he wants, and he uses this freedom to build a wild and intriguing world that is both humorous and politically charged.

This is a movie made perfectly for those viewers who are somewhere between childhood and adulthood, and it understands them. It throws just enough of life's nastiness at them without making it too overwhelming or hopeless, and it has a real comprehension of how teens often feel: misunderstood and unsupported by those around them, but not in that stereotypical "get outta my room, Mom!" way.

Morrisa Maltz’s Jazzy is a gentle, impressionistic wonder that authentically captures growing up.
