The Kids Aren't Alright

About This Movie

So, 'The Kids Aren't Alright' is one of those films that really digs into the raw emotions of youth, you know? It’s about Ross, who's grappling with the fallout from a classmate's suicide. The atmosphere is heavy, but it’s not all doom and gloom. Enter Róisín, the new girl who shakes things up for him. Their friendship feels real, messy, and touching, kind of like life itself. The pacing is slow, but it gives you time to sit with those feelings. The performances are pretty genuine, capturing that awkwardness of adolescence and the weight of grief. It's not flashy, but it sticks with you, and that’s what makes it distinctive in a way. Worth a look if you appreciate that kind of honest storytelling.
