Deltopia

There was no plot outside of Kurt Cobain's friend wanting to have sex with some classmate on their last day of their high school graduation. They made out every scene as incredibly serious even though at the end of the day it's just kids looking to party and the drama they experience trying to party.

Outside of that there was unnecessary lense flare in 66% of the scenes. The drug dealing scene was completely unrealistic, being pulled over by the cops, every following struggle was ridiculous. The director of the movie should take a long look at themselves and ask where they went wrong, the series of choices they made and everyone who supported them thinking this was a good idea. I made an account to review this and spend even more wasted time on the absolute cesspool of a production this was.

Absolutely adored this film! The performances, direction, music, and cinematography were exceptional. Finally, a teen film that authentically captures the essence of youth - from the raw yet genuine dialogue to the gritty frat house scenes, and the portrayal of delicate and beautiful female friendships. It's an outstanding movie! Luna Blaise and Madison Pettis, you both stole the show. I laughed, I cried, I gasped, I was truly moved. The film had great pacing, storytelling and is destined to become a cult classic, and I couldn't be more excited. In a landscape craving quality teen dramas, "Deltopia" emerges as the perfect remedy.

The movie presents a narrative that, while not revolutionary in its approach, manages to capture the viewer's interest with its central storyline. The concept of Deltopia is intriguing and is portrayed as a vibrant and energetic event, which adds a layer of excitement to the film. The main actors deliver competent performances, contributing to the film's overall appeal despite its shortcomings.

However, the technical aspects of the film, particularly the sound design, leave much to be desired. The audio mixing seems uneven, with the background ambiance almost entirely absent in several scenes. This lack of ambient sound creates an unrealistic and jarring experience, as viewers are accustomed to a certain level of environmental noise in films that adds to the realism. The moments of complete silence, except for the dialogue, detract from the immersive experience typically expected from a movie.

Moreover, there are instances where the volume levels are inconsistent, particularly during dialogues where the sound abruptly drops, disrupting the flow of conversation. This issue points to a possible lack of thorough quality assurance in the post-production phase, which is critical in ensuring a seamless audio-visual experience.

A movie for teens that doesn't ignore the very real concerns, fears, and triumphs they experience. The directors know how to shoot a film, the shot compositions speak for themselves & their ability to capture the character's vulnerabilities is present throughout. The shots made you feel like you were in the movie and the acting and casting was perfect. I was thoroughly entertained all the way through and it exceeded expectations. If you're looking for a fun party movie with nostalgia of your youth and an emotional aspect, this is a must watch. This film made me laugh, cry, then laugh and cry some more. A really good coming of age movie for this era.

Overall, this an incredibly enjoyable and well executed coming of age film. A far superior high school film than most, this story felt so real as it was based on true events and the filmmaking felt almost like a documentary in the way it was filmed. The editing DELIVERS and connects with the audience giving us time to recover from all the highs and lows. The score is amazing and the music keeps the pacing of the story pumping. I would absolutely recommend this movie. I think Luna Blaise, Madison Pettis, Hart Denton and Charlie Gillespie all have promising careers aead of them and I can't wait to see what comes next from all of them, including the directors/producers.
