This story of a disaffected and voyeuristic teen would be unbearably pretentious if not for the detached honesty, calm narration and, let's be honest, Australian accents. The sound design is particularly noteworthy, as are the ways that director David Michod de-eroticizes sexuality. Best appreciated by alienated youths, fans of Gus Van Sant, nymphomaniacs, and those who are all three.
