Reviews for I'm Gonna Explode
I'm Gonna Explode dramatizes even as it demonstrates the maxim that you can't go home again.
captures the danger, uncertainty, and overwhelming vitality of youth complicated by an inability to react to the world with anything but intense emotions
The title of the film promises something revolutionary, but all we get, aesthetically and thematically, are second-gen hand-me-downs.
The issue of sex is carefully handled and the trajectory the pair take has a fumbling, teenage quality that makes it easy to believe.
The rare love letter to influence that's infused with enough personal style and sentiment to transform the stolen into something thrilling and moving
What are these two privileged teens doing besides recreating scenes from Jean-Luc Godard's canon?
