  American Teen follows four teenagers during their senior year of high school in a small town in Indiana. The jock, the popular girl, the arty misfit, and the nerd are all here—and so are the cliques, the rivalries, the love stories, the peer and parent pressure, the agonizing decisions about the future that go with being a teenager. But filmmaker Nanette Burstein, who filmed these teenagers daily for ten months and came to know them well, goes far beyond the stereotypes to give us a complex and nuanced view of young boys and girls stumbling toward adulthood. With a style and polish reminiscent of your favorite John Huges movie, American Teen is a touching, funny, and intimate take on the pressures of growing up.
