Our take
Establishing an angsty, melancholic tone worthy of its teenage protagonists, this yearning mood piece about a Bob Dylan fan captures the dark undercurrent of disaffected adolescence. An intense, character-driven drama, and an intelligent debut from Brazilian director Esmir Filho (Undetectable).
