Crush

About This Movie

So, 'Crush' is this raw slice of life that hits you right in the feels. Set against Prom Night in the gritty South Bronx, it dives into Michael's struggle to find his courage. The atmosphere is a mix of tension and humor, making you feel every awkward moment as he grapples with his feelings for his crush. The pacing has this nice ebb and flow—moments of laughter followed by some real heart. It's interesting how it tackles themes of fear and vulnerability, especially in a high school setting. The performances feel genuine, capturing that youthful angst. And I have to mention the practical effects—they’re minimal but effective, adding to that authentic feel. It's not your typical teen drama, that's for sure.
