From the Sundance Film Festival review
we’re introduced, in quick order, to four students at the high school in Warsaw, Indiana, on the first day of class. But while the camera work and voice-over has the glossy fizz of fiction, it’s nonetheless a real school, and while the kids we meet all correlate roughly to the archetypal teens of fiction, they’re real too. We meet Hannah, the plucky, artsy outsider; Colin, the star athlete with a heart of gold; Megan, the prom queen whose school-spirit high-fives hide an iron fist; and smart, insecure, dorky Jake, all in quick succession. And while part of your mind reels at the clichés — we’re just one Judd Nelson-type away from a straight flush, for heaven’s sake — as Burstein’s film unfolds, we realize that if there ever was a place cliché’s were true, it’s high school.
Bolivar beat Branson 3-0, not the other way around.
