If Me and Earl and the Dying Girl hit the spot, these will too

The same two preoccupations: high school, and growing up
The difference: Without the same stillness

Two things both keep coming back to: high school student and based on young adult novel
The difference: Played as romance first

One thread runs through both: friends

Both keep coming back to the same thing: growing up

Both land stillness and wit at once

The same preoccupation in both: based on young adult novel

The same mix in both: play, then wistfulness

Both are built on the same subject: teenage boy
The difference: Made in the 1970s, in a different era of the craft

Common ground: high school
