Blake- N @PBSAniDom May 10 The Half of It stands out as one of the strongest coming-of-age films available on Netflix because it approaches teenage life with honesty, subtlety, and emotional intelligence. It avoids exaggerated drama and instead focuses on quiet, relatable moments that feel grounded and real. The performances are understated but powerful, especially in how the characters express uncertainty, identity, and connection. The film takes its time with relationships and personal growth, which makes everything feel more meaningful rather than rushed or artificial. Overall, it’s a beautifully written and thoughtful coming-of-age story that respects its characters and audience. It’s easily one of the best in its genre on Netflix, and I rate it a 10/10 for its sincerity, emotional depth, and refreshing storytelling.

He could hardly speak and he chased along behind vehicles. See more Rosie D. @Rosieeeee Feb 25 A really sweet and wholesome movie. I actually thought the friendship was the standout part of the whole thing. The way their bond developed felt way more touching anythingbelse.

With a Cyrano de Bergerac plotline the script is sharp, witty, thoughtful and reflective by turn. It's slightly oddball progress is a welcome feature and although the film does not move quickly it moves at just the right speed for its subject matter. The cast are charming, the acting good and there is a real chemistry which gives the 3 main characters a believability that is lacking in many films of this genre. I enjoyed this film which is a bit more thoughtful and considered than mast and very much invite you to view it so that you can judge for yourself. See more Read all reviews
