Crossline

About This Movie

So, 'Crossline' is this intriguing 1996 drama that dives into the struggles of a group of teens who find themselves uprooted to Canada against their will. The vibe is definitely heavy, reflecting the clash of cultures and the disorientation that comes with it. The pacing can feel a bit uneven at times, capturing that restless teenage energy but also those moments of introspection. The performances, while perhaps not groundbreaking, carry a raw authenticity that resonates. It’s a film that paints a vivid picture of alienation and the self-destructive paths these characters choose, all while they navigate their new reality. Not exactly an easy watch, but it lingers in the mind, you know?
