Shailene Woodley
Obnoxious alcoholic teenager loses his girlfriend, pursues a purported wallflower (the lovely SW whose performance was excellent but she is too pretty for this role), finds his also alcoholic father and alienates just about everyone in his life. The film ends with a glimmer of redemption but it's left ambiguous.
Nice variation on the coming-of-age genre. Both players were good, the direction unobtrusive, the story led us in directions we couldn't predict...and some we could. This was an intelligent, satisfying film.
