Glue
2006 Argentina
Stars:
Adolescent sums up this movie. Lucas is a 16 year old boy living in either suburban or small town Argentina. Life is awkward, about sex, mostly only getting with oneself. This movie is not a matured one and given it is about teenage issues it seems appropriate. A slow start needs to be overcome, but once moving the lives of the characters draw you in. Like ‘Once’ I had an issue with shaky hand held shots, which takes a little time to adjust to. ‘Napoleon Dynamite’ is a recent film similar to this one, although with a different focus. It is likely if you enjoyed ‘Napoleon Dynamite’ you will enjoy this film.
