Nothing Tastes Sweeter Than Independence

We all long for independence. And we all deserve it. But as teenagers, given the freedom of a child while being asked to follow certain obligations of an adult, life could seem a little lot more complicated than it actually is.

The Kings of Summer (2013)
A film by Jordan Vogt-Roberts
Written by Chris Galletta

Joe Toy, a teenage student who seeks freedom and independence, finds comfort living in the woods with his friends.

A typical story of a coming of age film but definitely gives a new kind of feel. At times, implausible but with the right amount of its whimsical vibe, it has successfully achieved the equal balance for family drama and light comedy. With its effortless humor, perfectly timeless musical score and diverse lead characters portrayed by note-worthy actors, this movie has undeniably won my heart. I feel like it did not even try too hard. It's just simply captivating.

I have fallen in love with its soundtrack.

And with Nick Robinson.
