I've seen all the oscar nominations and this is by far the weakest entry.Major kudos to the directing style and cinematography, but that is about it.Acting is standard, if not cheesy and overdone. Characters are WAY too overblown to be believable, story is lame and the ending doesn't have any quality or quantity.No real character development or interesting moments. It just feels like superbad.And that is exactly what it is...Super Bad.Credits for artistic value, but it's attempt to "connect" to an audience (that I'm still unsure of) fails miserably. A teen Docu-Drama that should have stuck to the facts.Not a "landmark" film in any way.
