This uneven coming-of-age drama (like a Sauvage companion piece that looks back at its character's past) shows the experiences that have shaped the adult Jonas (Leo), a not-very-happily employed twentysomething who gets into fights, gets into trouble with police and falls out with his parents, and the movie does a great job demonstrating how for some adults like Jonas, youth was not the magic land of self-discovery it should have been and in fact some, like Jonas, might be lucky if they can get even one make-up hour to flirt with the thrilling, dangerous unknowns of childhood..

★★★★☆
