Jays in the Head

Another Coming-of-age story. Centers around a boy named Mato in Slovakia during the summer who is dealing with questions about fishing, girls and growing hair on his chest although not necessarily in that order. He does have plans on running away from home.

While the premise is definitely not new, some of the things Mato deals with is. Plus a few colorful characters. It really is well made for what it is and probably on a very small budget.

The acting is good. The direction is good. Really nothing to complain about. I give credit for not making the script predictable even with the familiar premise. You never know how any scene will end up.

Nothing complicated. A decent movie worth watching.
