This movie turned out to be a very good movie. It has become a work that has been greatly enjoyed by the audience. I think that the work was born because of the director's poor thinking. It turned out to be a movie that I liked very much. I would like to thank the director and actors.

This idea of ​​the film shooting technique director made the film more attractive to people.

Four high-school seniors navigate their way through the ups and downs of life in their small Indiana town. Hannah is bright and pretty, but a misfit who wants to move to California after graduation. Colin, a basketball player, feels intense pressure to make his town and family proud and earn a sports scholarship. Jake is painfully shy in a group. Megan is smart, pretty and wealthy, and rules the roost at school. Popular Mitch risks his social status to date Hannah.

Nostalgic and enjoyable American film.

Seems nostalgic movie. Everyone’s life that they go through is not easy and beautiful.

Nostalgic time capsule with little relation and nothing new to offer nor convincingly natural out of suspected contractual staged, invasive observations that feels composited of better teenage genre offering through film and 온라인카지노추천 than this disinteresting irrelevance. (B-)

I watched this as part of a documentary class in my senior year of high school. I will say that, from some perspectives, this could accurately show what high school is like, but I just don't know. People tend to act differently when there is evidence to prove they are being filmed. I had high expectations for this in the beginning. The subjects seemed unique. But as I watched it, I got bored. The plot didn't really have its own twist to it. It seemed to have a lot of stereotypes- the sports guy, the ‘lonely' girl, grades, family- and although the end was a ‘happy' one, it didn't feel representative of reality. I know from many personal experiences that there is rarely, if ever, a real light at the end of the tunnel. Before watching this, I thought there would be at least one ‘unnatural' event that would set the plot in a different direction than expected. I thought there would be, I don't know, a medical emergency or a tragedy that would throw everything into chaos. (I became ‘that person' in August 2013, just before 5th grade, which was when I was diagnosed with childhood brain cancer. Its effects still linger to this day in more ways than one.) I also don't like how there were a few scenes that seemed out of touch with reality, such as the pool scene. Scenes such as that one seemed... forced, in a sense. So, maybe I can't say this is a great documentary, but I can say that it is a good documentary for people who want to get the general gist of what it's like to be a teenager.

American teen was about American teens in America being teenagers. Colin looked like the Luna Park mascot and he was also really ugly. He played basketball. He was ugly and had a big chin. Idk who the lonely dudes name was but he was a simp. I hate simps they smell like 6 day old bath water. You can't get a degree in getting a girlfriend. Forgot who the other two people are. One girl really wanted to go to California but her parents were like "NO! >:(" and she was like "oh.. :(" and I felt bad for her. The other girl reminded me of Regina George. Anyway the movie gets a 2/5 stars bc it wasn't a convincing documentary which was sad.

An interesting and through provoking story of adolescence and how it is dealt with on different terms. This drama-documentary does have a touch of Hollywood to it, but it was well done in the sense of showing the audience how different kids work

Memories of my youth come back... wanted and unwanted thoughts are wrapped up in them. Good thing it seems like such a blimp on the life radar.

This is a documentary, dealing in facts. It showed the common issues that teens deal with, like insecurities, stresses of growing up, and finding one's identity in the world. On the negative side, there were parts of American Teen that seemed too staged and contrived to feel spontaneous.

This is a fascinating documentary which captures so much of the pain, heartbreak, meanness, and anxiety of high school, and teenage life in America. The filmmaker followed several high school students in Warsaw Indiana during their senior year, in school, at home, and hanging out. It presents them as they see themselves, and as they are seen by others. Even though it consists entirely of these kids daily lives, there is surprising drama and psychological depth, from the loner desperate for a girlfriend, to the stereotypical mean girl whose teasing and cruelty cover up deep pain and crushing parental pressure. All of the kids are sympathetic and multidimensional but I was surprised at just how unsupportive and frankly mean some of their parents could be to them. There's also seemingly limitless insights to be gleaned about family life, class issues, school bureaucracy and adolescence from these ordinary midwestern teens. If I had to criticize anything about this film it would be it's length, I would have loved another hour and a half of this and the DVD does include some extra scenes that were cut that are very much worth watching. This film won an award at Sundance for direction and it is indeed a very worthy film which vividly portrays the social, educational, and family lives of teenagers and their sad but hopeful young lives.

There's no doubting director Nanette Burstein has taken some creative liberties along the way here; some scenes are just way too staged. That said I enjoyed the hour and a half spent with these cliched teens; I didn't learn anything and my image of the "youth of today" has been re cemented but by the end I found myself sympathising and even dare I say caring about some of these teens.

If you have teenagers or ever will you should watch this movie...

It's a concern while watching American Teen whether it's really fly-on-the-wall or not, but it can be said with some certainty these are real high schoolers facing real choices and issues in their lives, and their anxiety over future plans feels real. American Teen doesn't overly sentimentalise its material, and even with its pre-credits wrap-up of what the teens ended up doing, it shows that not everybody succeeds in their endeavours, and high school isn't always the best time of everybody's lives.

An excellent slice of life documentary. These kids are infinitely more interesting than anyone you'd see on Laguna Beach or The Hills because you can identify with some of the experiences of these teens. It might be a little too black and white, but you can only shape so much narrative in under 2 hours. Bottom line: we all have to deal with the same crap growing up.

Jeg ved ikke helt hvorfor jeg så den her film. Havde vel forhåbninger et eller andet sted. Forhåbninger der absolut ikke blev udfyldt. Fuck det lort her. Det var godt nok elendigt!

Slickly packaged, but shallow.
