Perfect High

About This Movie

Perfect High offers a disquieting exploration of addiction through the lens of a seemingly typical suburban life. Amanda, portrayed with an earnest vulnerability, initially appears to be just another teen navigating high school drama, but the film takes a darker turn as her new friends introduce her to the world of prescription pills. The pacing feels deliberate, almost suffocating at times, mirroring Amanda's descent into heroin addiction. The performances are particularly striking, with each actor bringing a raw authenticity that really draws you into their struggles. It’s not overly flashy; rather, it relies on the stark reality of its themes, making it a gripping watch. The atmosphere is heavy and immersive, capturing the tension and despair of addiction without glamorizing it.
