    The way I feel about the movie is that it's basically like a small chunk of the teens lives. There's no beginning and no end, necessarily. That's because it's not supposed to come across like a scripted story (which is why it wasn't scripted but improvised). I think this is also why a lot of people find it boring. The camera's like a metaphorical fly on the wall.

    These are all of the reasons that I liked the movie. I thought it was completely effective from start to finish.
