An intelligible movie with a great direction and top notch cinematography. Years before Euphoria a staring truthful dive into modern teenagehood and webcam shows and how every day life is impacted. A love story, a friendship ride along and family insights of two young girls who try to make their way out for a purposedly better future but at what cost. Pretty enjoyable.

Wrote a detailed review of this film, then had an error posting it. So instead of taking the time to rewrite it (the time that this film does not deserve), I'm going to simplify and say that this film was messy and incredibly rushed. Although a good soundtrack, this film was a waste of a good idea. :(

I'm going to be completely honest here. I did not think it was that good. I must say that it was an exciting story, but some scenes and some roles were not well written. It looked fake. I know that that is literally what it is, but it could've still been better. The mother role is the first thing I noticed. Annie said "leave me alone" and the mother immediately proceeds to lecture her. Annie's "attitude" was mentioned in a later scene. What I find odd about this is that it does not represent what a mother is. From my understanding, a mother would not lecture her daughter after their daughter tells them to leave them alone. Some mother may be like that, but I do not believe that there are many mothers who are that concerned about her daughter language. The ending was a bit fast and all over the place, but not that bad. Overall, two and a half stars, because I still enjoyed it, even if there were little things that were not quite realistic.

This is a must see !!! I was just browsing around on Netflix and I randomly chose this! not reading the bio about it just winging it and I fell in love Diffidently a must see it's just how teenage girls think especially when it comes to money and trying to experience your sexuality as well as figuring out yourself if your in your 20s and even 18 I would recommend watching this ! I promise you won't be disappointed I would rewatch it again that's how good it is

It was a good idea, just very poorly executed. The ending left you wanting more.

I thought this is gonna be about some badass girl hustlers. Turns out they might be gay. Okay then, i can workout with that. So maybe badass lesbian hustlers? But nooooo, they didnt give us that really. Though interesting, the characters have little redeeming features except for being teenage girls with a dream. That Annie girl though is first world problems at its finest, she has a loving family and she will throw all that away to prostitute herself with Jules just to feel alive? Damn. Though it is exciting, not gonna lie, but man was it stupid, so, so, so stupid. 3/5 cause i was entertained and thats what movies are for.

We Got This Covered

Teenage Cocktail is a sexy, dangerous, and delightfully devious warning about unchecked hormones and the crazy things we do for love.

Consequence

John Carchietta nails the more subtle, painful aspects of teenhood. That's a harder thing to pull off than a grindhouse flick, which makes Teenage Cocktail an impressive, if slightly uneven, debut.
