Project X (2012)
Directed by Nima
Nourizadeh this film stars Thomas Mann, Oliver Cooper, Jonathan
Daniel Brown and Kirby Bliss Blanton. Three social outcasts plan a
party to end all parties to celebrate one of their birthdays and
raise their social profile at school.
There are a lot of
negative reviews of this film and I think this arises from people
confusing the views of the characters with those of the film makers.
While the characters are immature, mean spirited and misogynistic
they actually do reflect how a portion of young men behave at that
age. What the film does really well is provide a warts and all
picture of youth culture and the destructive nature of alcohol
fuelled herd mentality.
4/5
