“In scenes as rat-a-tat as a Ramones track, the [characters] battle over band names, experience their first porn and hero-worship their local idol... Did we mention this all takes place on roller skates?... Moss finally provides Mickey with an explicit lesson we can only wish we’d been gifted with.”

— Kris Vire, Time Out Chicago (5 Star Review)

“In staccato scenes inspired by punk anthems, Moss captures the clammy intensity of adolescent bonding: arousal by contraband porn; battles over band names; preening in search of authenticity... [It’s] political satire meets Pee-wee’s Playhouse.”

— Jacob Gallagher-Ross, Village Voice


“Fun, insightful, and jagged around the edges...like that ratty Sex Pistols shirt my friend wore out in high school, I’m guessing the rips were put there on purpose... Moss’s script is full of brilliant dialogue... Bullies, the mysteries of sex, and the tricky negotiations of teen friendship are all paraded out in weird, unexpected, and funny ways.”

“Every scene shakes with the fervid, erratic energy of thwarted youth, perfectly captured... ”
