Choices

About This Movie

Choices (1988) is a rather raw exploration of teenage angst and the trials of growing up. The film dives into the turbulent lives of Jim and Sonia Peterson as they navigate the complexities of high school. There's this tangible atmosphere of unease throughout, especially as Jim's new friend pulls him into a world of bad decisions. The performances, while not always polished, possess a certain authenticity that captures the essence of adolescent struggle. Pacing feels deliberate, allowing for moments of introspection amidst the chaos. It’s a little bit gritty, a little bit real, and reflects those tough choices we all face during those formative years. Not groundbreaking, but it's got its own unique vibe that resonates in a subtle way.
