All the actors did pretty well. They seemed like child actors but looking at their bios, some of them are older than they look. So that shows the make up and casting was done right. The narrative and story is good, it follows the path of 'trying hard to fit-in with the crowd' well and how attitudes of teenagers change when their dynamics with people around them evolve, has been shown well. The flashbacks of the mother are sort of a mystery. Music mixing is nice. Role of father is also nice. In a way a one time watch for sure. Not a disappointment if one like teenage friendship dramas, like boyhood etc.
