The TVI Take
The last day of school in 1976 Austin, Texas. Linklater's ensemble film is formally exceptional — the multiple storylines and the period recreation are both precise.
Educational about 1970s adolescent culture. Matthew McConaughey's first major role. One of the most accurate films about the specific texture of teenage social life.
