Palo Alto

In the affluent California suburb of Palo Alto, teenage angst and rebellion take center stage in this coming-of-age drama. The film follows a group of disaffected teens as they navigate lust, boredom, and self-destruction, all set against the backdrop of a community where parental guidance is sorely lacking. With its solid performances and beautiful cinematography, "Palo Alto" attempts to compensate for a drifting plot, but ultimately falls short in exploring the complexities of its characters' lives.
