Remember back to those high school years when things seemed uncertain. What were the big questions of the day? Were they bogged down with a sense of detachment and aimlessness? In director Gia Coppola's debut Palo Alto, the film explores teen angst not as this grand glorified vision, but as something far more tangible and honest. People drink, curse, and crash cars with unexpected consequences. In a sense, what Coppola has made is a modern day Fast Times at Ridgemont High by way of the introspective nature of her Aunt Sofia. The results are a little raw, but nonetheless interesting.
