In the halls of a typical high school, where popularity is currency and the student newspaper is a joke, a quiet revolution is brewing. This sharp and witty dramedy, directed by Bryan Goluboff, follows Eddie Gil, a frustrated but ambitious student journalist brilliantly portrayed by Ezra Miller. Tired of writing vapid fluff pieces, Eddie decides to shake up the social order by launching a renegade underground newspaper. He exposes the cruel and arbitrary nature of the school's social hierarchy, targeting the jocks and the popular clique led by a charismatic quarterback played by Jesse McCartney. Eddie’s crusade gains unexpected momentum when he recruits the beautiful and enigmatic new girl, played by Zoe Kravitz, as his partner in journalistic crime. As his paper gains a fervent following, Eddie must navigate the treacherous waters of teenage politics, questioning whether his quest for truth is noble or just another form of bullying. With a sharp script and a supporting cast including Amy Sedaris and Campbell Scott, the film balances its dramatic stakes with a knowing comedic tone, exploring the messy, often hilarious battle for identity and integrity in the unforgiving arena of adolescence.
