Hello…

More 15-24 year-olds go to the cinema than any other age group and yet, searching for reviews online, I struggled to find a platform aimed at or written by teenagers.

For me and perhaps other teens too, film offers a way to escape into a different story during what can be a confusing and disorientating time. From absurdist comedy to intense emotional drama, it’s a chance to experience an alternative reality for a short while.

So I hope to provide a blog that presents a teenage perspective and a useful guide for teens.
