Yelling To The Sky

This is grim, bleak material that at times is monotonous, but its woe feels authentic.

Not much happens in story terms, but the film swirls with emotions that make it by turns grim and amusing, heavy and light, obvious and vague.

Mahoney barely explains her characters' circumstances, which makes the movie obliquely intriguing. But whenever the story comes into focus, it's revealed as fairly conventional.

Yelling to the Sky comes across like a frenetic bag of disenfranchised teen angst that is never clearly spelled out.
