2/5

Coast is undeniably empathetic towards the inner lives of kids living in the bland nothingness of California’s Central Coast, but it’s also not got a lot new to add.

Coast story is personal, one of those where we can see a little part of ourselves in those teenage years inside the main characters. [Full review in Spanish].

Coast captures small-town life so honestly that you care deeply what happens to the characters. That’s exactly what you want a movie to do.

3/5
