![]() ![]() Nadine ends up attending her school's film festival and watching Erwin's animated film about an alien boy who seeks solace in the stars after being turned down one time too many. He's also an aspiring filmmaker, which plays a part in the film's climax. Over time, more is revealed about his home life: his parents are fairly well off, but often traveling, leaving him home alone. At first glance, he seems to fit into the standard "best friend who's pining after the girl he can't have." He even tries to kiss Nadine on the Ferris wheel - an oldie, but a goodie. One scene even features Mona shouting that Nadine needs to respect her since she's an adult, and Darien explodes: "Then why do you keep calling me?!" Jenner packs a whole lot of angst into that closing speech, and I challenge anyone to not tear up at the end.Īnother character who gets a surprising amount of depth is Erwin. He has to not only take care of her but also their mother. But toward the end of the film, Darien opens up to Nadine and reveals that he feels a major weight on his shoulders. He's handsome, their mother clearly favors him, and there's the aforementioned relationship with Krista. One major example is Jenner: At first glance, Darien seems to be nothing more than a thorn in Nadine's side. ![]() ![]() Steinfeld's co-stars also have the chance to dig deep into the usual archetypes that populate a coming-of-age film, resulting in some surprisingly deep performances. ![]()
