It has a sense of small-town America that feels special even without great specificity. 

All of it's viewed from a sympathetic but detached perspective that suggests Scott Fitzgerald by way of Truffaut. "American Sleepover" is the American debut film of the year, and an experience you must work into your summer calendar.

It is partly through those associations that Mr. Mitchell achieves such tender and subtle authenticity of feeling.

It’s a film where the feelings and experiences of young people are highly specific in detail, yet fundamentally universal and timeless.

A rumination on the alternately torturous and joyous paradoxes of teenagehood, David Robert Mitchell’s The Myth of the American Sleepoverlikeably recognizes (aside for one garishly mishandled conversation from which the title is lifted) that all of the adolescent epiphanies worth rendering in film must be represented non-verbally.
