This is one of my favorite coming-of-age movies. It’s honest, subtle, and realistic depiction of growing pains was what got to be about this very little known gem. And, I can’t think of any band that is better fitted to the crazy,bipolar and unpredictable process of adolescence than the Violent Femmes. Their strong literally MADE this movie… I still think of this movie each time, I listen to Blister in the Sun!
