If you loved Joe Bell, try Beach Rats
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Joe Bell, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Beach Rats is
Here's a film about a young man finding himself, one way or another. Frankie searches for connection with older men online while trying to impress his crew of burnout buddies. The film admirably evokes a certain kind of summer boredom.
