All That Glitters

About This Movie

All That Glitters is quite the curious drama from 1990, diving into the complexities of ethics through a seemingly simple high school cookie venture. The atmosphere feels a bit nostalgic, almost like a time capsule of teenage ambition and moral dilemmas. Pacing can be uneven at times, but it reflects the chaotic nature of adolescence. The performances are genuine, capturing the awkwardness of youth and the allure of power. It’s distinct in how it layers a seemingly light premise with deeper questions about integrity and friendship, making it a thoughtful watch for those interested in character-driven stories. The practical effects are minimal, focusing instead on dialogue and interactions, which makes it an engaging exploration of its themes.
