Alan Smithee

About This Movie

'Alan Smithee' is an intriguing dive into adolescence wrapped in a comedy-drama shell. Directed by Crobin, the film captures the uneasy transition of growing up, exploring the weight of familial flaws and the darker nuances of personal growth. The storytelling feels like a slow burn, with a pacing that allows emotional beats to resonate deeply. The performances are raw and unfiltered, particularly the lead, who embodies Alan’s struggles with a mix of innocence and frustration. There’s a certain grit to the atmosphere, almost like a nostalgic reflection of the ‘90s but modernized. While it has its comedic moments, it never shies away from the heaviness of its themes—definitely a unique take on a coming-of-age story.

Not for the faint of heart. · Explores the complexities of adolescence. · Expect a mix of humor and poignant moments.
