The Way Way Back (2013)
Written as well as
directed by Nat Faxon & Jim Rash this film stars Liam James, Toni
Collette, Steve Carell, Sam Rockwell and Allison Janney. A 14 year
old introverted and socially awkward boy spends the summer with his
mother and her bullying boyfriend.
This is a fairly
standard coming of age film but it is one of the better examples of
it's genre. Where the film is a big hit is that it really captures
it's characters perfectly and has a tone of charm. There is a great
supporting cast with plenty of depth and really good performances
from Rockwell and Janney in particular.
4/5
