Juniors

About This Movie

Juniors (2023) is this quirky blend of comedy and drama that explores the boredom of small-town life through the lens of a 14-year-old named Jordan. Set in the sleepy village of Mornas, the film captures that sense of youthful ennui with a light-hearted touch. The performances are refreshingly genuine, especially the chemistry between Jordan and his buddy Patrick. They navigate their mundane existence with imaginative schemes, like faking an illness to fund a new gaming console, Jessica. The pacing feels just right, allowing viewers to settle into the humor while still touching on deeper themes of friendship and escapism. It's the practical effects, like the way they portray their console's demise, that add an endearing charm, making the film distinct in its storytelling.
