The Spectacular Now (2013)

Popular high school kid is coasting on charm straight towards alcoholism until he gets to know one of the girls outside of his usual group. I believed absolutely everyone and it just broke my heart.

The closest movie comparisons I can think of are The Perks of Being a Wallflower and The Breakfast Club. Like those films, The Spectacular Now just "gets" that end-of-high school/brink of adulthood time of life and puts it out there without gloss. That's enough.

B+
