Movie Info

A teenage boy is forced to dive into the murky waters of adolescence in this comedy-drama from Argentine filmmaker Alexis Dos Santos. Lucas (Nahuel Perez Biscayart) is a bored and restless fifteen-year-old living in a sleepy town in Patagonia's version of the Middle of Nowhere. Things have hardly been happy at home since Lucas's parent's split up over his father's constant infidelity, and matters are hardly any more comfortable elsewhere.

Finally, a coming-of-age film that has the courage to present the terrors and fears of self-discovery in a thoughtful, seemingly incoherent fashion, comes to the screen.

The teens grope and fumble through their desire, sex and gender heat-miraging away. . . . The performances are remarkably assured.

As part of the New Argentine Cinema, "Glue" is a bold and tasteful film that wears its warts well.

Audience Reviews for Glue

Alexis dos Santos is side by side with Gus Van Sant and Lucrecia Martel in portraying adolescence in a realistic and, well, arty way.



Some similarities to Famous and the Dead (by Esmir Filho), and a few with Duck Season (by Fernando Eimbcke) and Machuca (by Andres Wood).

Family scenes remind: La ciénaga and La Mujer sin Cabeza (by Lucrecia Martel) and Home by Ursula Meier.
Chocolate milk scene reminds: Show me Love, by Lukas Moodysson.


Great soundtrack by Violent Femmes.

Ponderous, dreary coming-of-age / discovery of sexuality flick that has an occasional sequence worthy of Gus Van Sant, but mostly bores. The performances are fine but the plot meanders worthlessly (and not especially realistically) and some of the scenes have the tinge of wish-fulfilment. Some hypnotic editing and some inspired cinematography unfortunately don't make Glue any less of a chore.
