    good

    It's July 3, 1976 in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Canada. 15 year old Kit (Dylan Authors) lives with his father Dave (Allan Hawco) and grandmother Mary (Cathy Jones). With help from girlfriend Alice (Julia Sarah Stone), he is going to Sydney to live with his mother Laura (Molly Parker). That's Sydney, Nova Scotia. Alice insists on goodbye sex, but Kit keeps delaying. Andy Warhol (Rhys Bevan-John) is his imaginary spirit animal.

    Director Bruce McDonald transformed this into black and white. I think it's a good idea. It accentuates the indie feel and transports the film back to the 70's. This is a Canadian film with mostly Canadian music. It feels like a drive through Canada. I like the two young leads. There is a really powerful scene at the beach. There are a few slower sections. I would like some sharper dialogue and raise the tension with some of the situations. There are some good weirdness with the Cambodian boyfriend. Andy Warhol needs to be more compelling and weirder. This is good with some minor reservations.

    weirdos

    +++Despite the title, the protagonists are not so much weirdos, just average teens and this is recognized in the movie-everyone is a weirdo in his own way. We have here a simple nice story that I bet it is not much different than what could have happened today-but for a reason that you realize after you see the movie it had to be set in 1976. Also, despite the story line, there is no politics involved, only a drop. It is a story about coming of age and responsibilities of parents. The movie is shot black and white which seems suitable and there is a nice 70s rock music line. Actors play very well (with a mention to Julia Stone aka Alice). I thought Kit's mother played overzelously, but later in the movie it is revealed why she had to play that way. --- As a Canadian touch point, there is a foreign element-an Asian man that is in a relationship with Kit's mother; in turn that seems odd because these adults have very different personalities. I wished there were more background revealed about the parents.

    Feel good movie.

    Sweet innocence, good acting, good story. A journey of discovery and acceptance. Beautiful cinematography. Beautiful message. So proud to be Canadian.

    Really impressive in its technical qualities

    The screenplay of the film is very good and admirable, I just wish it had captivated me a bit more to be able to call it great, because the technical aspects here really are amazing. The cinematography is incredibly impressive and has a very controlled look. The performances are also really really good.

    Really good!

    I went with some friends and we all really liked it! Some great scenery around Nova Scotia, some scenes that I think we all can relate to that just feel like high school parties. A lot of those scenes you can really feel for the characters, it all felt very real, even the less pleasant stuff. Well worth seeing!

    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Goofs
      In one scene where they are on the side of the road, a speed limit sign is shown nearby. The speed is posted as 80. Since the movie takes place in July 1976 and Canadian roads weren't switched to metric until September 1977, this would mean the road was posted at 80 mph! In the unusual happenstance that this was a test road or the province was ahead of the rest of the country somehow, there would have been included the text "km/h" below the number - something all speed limit signs had at the changeover, to remind drivers it wasn't mph. Such text can still be found on speed limit signs near the USA border.
