That, actually, didn't feel embarrassing - which is no mean feat considering the genre. Films focused around adolescence have a tendency toward awkwardness. They also often have balancing issues; over-focusing one one aspect while missing another - thus failing to hit the relevant sweet spot.
Somehow MacAllister McDonald manages to avoid ALL the potholes set out before him and delivers a delicate and relevant study of the adolescent mindset. Without being pretentious Some Freaks lures in the viewers into the teen spirit and keeps them there until the credits start roll.
Casting and acting are also beneficial to the end result; exploring a rebellious period in a low key fashion. Thanks for that.
