"This, the film suggests, is what the adult world is really like: it starts with a period of longing and uncertainty, in which you wish, pointlessly, that things were otherwise; it progresses through a series of (literally) gut-wrenching and heart-stopping betrayals and compromises; and then it culminates in a slow, painful, lonely, and humiliating death."
