This is a pretty solid flick. Nothing special, but I enjoyed it enough for the Scorsese lite tone and the fact that it's just an entertaining flick throughout. Also, after seeing this I definitely want to check out more flicks starring Chalamet.

I thought it was great. Very stylish and fun. The director is one to watch. Loved the soundtrack. The only real issue for me is the ending, which is pretty bad. But it didn't take away from my overall enjoyment.

8/10 (A-)

This has all the elements to be great but somehow ends up being predictable and just another teen-drug movie. Elijah Bynum keeps things interesting but the story and screenplay do not have enough weight. The three leads do well specially Roe and Chalamet. I found Monroe's character pretty one dimensional and I have no idea why the storm was important to the story.
