This lyrical and ethereal film mixes the stark style of a crime story into a love story, capturing the highs, lows and the deepest, darkest recesses of grungy, stoned teenage life

Without any period-specific music to help establish a sense of time and place-a real cultural backdrop-even the setting remains a little fuzzy.

It's exciting to see how easily this younger generation is able to dismantle heteronormativity.

The beautiful thing about As You Are is the way it mashes up a police investigation with a solidly authentic feeling coming-of-age story set in the '90s.

I have no negative things to say about the movie itself, but it did leave me feeling really sad. But that just shows how real everything was in the movie. It really cut deep, because the topic was really something I fear myself. The ending was good, though it did leave me thinking.

Once again Amandla Stenberg stands out in a film that truly resonates with me. Teenage years are SO confusing. It is tragic that you don't get to go through it more than once. This story was heartbreaking while being funny and realistic and genuine all at once. One cannot help but reflect back on your own teen years as you watch (if you're past your teens when you watch it). I honestly felt each character. Even the Dad. Cinematography, pacing, editing, .... I really will never forget this film.
