My Senior Year

While it captures familiar high school drama tropes, this film elevates itself with some depth of emotion and a thoughtful backstory. Through this lens, the film is a satisfying exploration of the high school experience, making you connect with the lead character and empathize. While it makes some attempts to pull on your heart strings, it ultimately remains grounded in a story that is relatable and compelling.

The worst acting I have seen in a very long time. I didnt even finish watching it. I have no idea how it got so many good ratings on here.

My Senior Year is an endearing indie coming of age film that I really enjoyed. I don't know what it is about stories about the high school experience that I connect with so much -- perhaps it's the nostalgia or just because it was such a formative time for so many of us -- but I really like this these types of films. My Senior Year grapples with a lot of the significant issues we all face in high school, but through the unique perspective of a truck driver's son starting school for the first time. My Senior Year spans a range of emotions from sweet to sad to funny at various points in the film, encompassing much of what we may have experienced, but taking it a step further in some places too that I'll leave you to see. Even when dealing with much more serious issues, My Senior Year handles them well. I'd say it's well worth your time, particularly if you're looking for something to watch while stuck sheltering in place like me.

Poor acting & story. I've seen more life from "actors" in a high school drama class. Save yourself from the agony of this movie and pass it over.

In the middle of a pandemic, something inspirational is really welcome. And yet very true to high school emotions and realities. This film was funny, sometimes sad, always sweet. I found myself really invested in and cheering for the lead character. How many movies out there can do that anymore? A really fine indie charmer!
