Losing It

About This Movie

Losing It (2017) dives into the awkwardness of teenage life, centering on Marshall, who's all set for the prom but faces an uphill battle with his date, Sarah. The atmosphere is thick with that mix of nervous anticipation and the real chance of disappointment. The film captures high school dynamics well, with dialogues that feel both genuine and cringeworthy. The pacing has that slow-burn quality, allowing for moments of introspection amidst the usual prom night chaos. There’s something refreshingly raw about the performances, especially how they convey the struggles of navigating young love and expectations. It's not flashy, but it does have a realness that sticks with you and makes you reflect on those formative experiences.
