Dubbed “one of the best movies ever made about high school life in America”, the much anticipated film, Palo Alto, is said to be a favourable debut for director, Gia Coppola.
Palo Alto has a fantastic cast to boot, and are said to have given solid performances.
Shy, sensitive April is the class virgin, torn between an illicit flirtation with her soccer coach Mr. B and an unrequited crush on sweet stoner Teddy. Emily, meanwhile, offers sexual favors to every boy to cross her path – including both Teddy and his best friend Fred, a live wire without filters or boundaries. As one high school party bleeds into the next – and April and Teddy struggle to admit their mutual affection – Fred’s escalating recklessness starts to spiral into chaos.
