YA Movies




(posted comment to Double Toasted review of "After" published on You Tube 04/15/2019)



My initial response to, what are some good YA movies out there, was zero. However thinking about it for a while I thought of two:  (both currently on Netflix) To All The Boys I've Loved Before (rated TV-14) and The Edge of Seventeen (rated R). I used as my criteria that the movie should be: (1)upbeat (2)without major illnesses (3) no heavy drug habits or felony/criminal activity and (4) no life/death situations  (5) well-written and well-acted.  I hear that Boy Erased (2018) and Love Simon (2018) are very good, but have not seen either of them.
