The Stranger already had a review for As You Are. Here's mine:
Miles
Joris-Peyrafitte uses flashbacks and interrogation video to depict the
friendship between two New York teens in the 1990s. The extroverted Mark
(Charlie Heaton) meets the introverted Jack (Owen Campbell) when their
parents (Mary Stuart Masterson and Scott Cohen) fall in love. They
become a triangle when they befriend Sarah (Amandla Stenberg) with whom
they hang out and get high. Then jealousy enters the picture, and it all
goes to shit. Though Joris-Peyrafitte is only 23, this is an assured
debut that recalls Gus Van Sant in teen-thriller mode, so it's too bad it falls apart at the end. (KATHY FENNESSY)
