Aro Recommended Blue Car

 

USA 2002, 96 minutes
Dir. Karen Moncrieff
Rating: [M]
Genres: Drama / Independent, Girl-centric, Youth

Topics: Rites-of-passage.

 

Aroview: A rites-of-passage drama of distinction, this is realistic and affecting in its account of a high-school student whose flair for poetry and trouble with her parents’ bitter break-up draws her closer to her sympathetic English teacher (Strathairn), some thirty years her senior.

Aided by a superb central performance by Agnes Brucker, fledgling writer-director Karen Moncrieff distils the confusion and isolation of teenagehood with rare accuracy, and constructs her story in a way that is sure to engage the hearts and minds of anyone partial to the serious aspects of life.
