The Pretenders

About This Movie

So, 'The Pretenders' from 2021 is an interesting take on youthful idealism and social commentary, told through the eyes of two high school girls. They set up a camera to capture their small-town life, aiming to share their perspectives through social media. The pacing is a bit uneven, really capturing the awkwardness of adolescence and the urgency of their mission. It's got this raw, DIY vibe, which makes the practical effects pretty charming – you can feel the limitations but also the creativity behind their efforts. The performances are sincere, almost capturing that naïveté of youth. It’s distinct in how it balances drama with a slice-of-life feel, making you think about the world through their lens, literally and metaphorically.
