The toughest lesson is love.

  • Review by Emma ★★½ 6

    it's about a boy who never does his homework and then has to do it all at once

  • Review by aya ★★

    george is the epitome of “in case you haven’t noticed, i’m weird. i’m a weirdo. i don’t fit in and i don’t want to fit in. have you ever seen me without this stupid hat on? that’s weird.” and y’all can’t change my mind

  • Review by Jack ★★★ 3

    look, I'm fully aware this is a shit movie but watching it tonight really helped me and i had such a nice connection with it. it made me realise that life is hard, love is hard, and they don't stop for a second nor do they ever seem to slow down but there's a way through it, there has to be... "anything is possible" and i guess that's the art of getting by.

    "I was nothing. I felt like nothing. Less than. You changed that."

  • Review by bena 🌙 ★★★★½ 1

    george not being motivated to do his homework is the most relatable thing wow.

  • Review by IronWatcher ★½

    Watched on Netflix

    I' m too old for this wannabe-intellectual depressive teenie bullshit.

    The good actors can not hide the fact that unfortunately the film has very little to say. The protagonist is a self-righteous dick and the story full of clichés.

  • Review by Comicbookfan ★★★

    The art of getting by is an indie teen drama. It's not a terrible film but not great or memorable, very average but good to sit back and relax to. Nothing really happens in the story ,its basically just the main character having to do his homework , but Freddie wigmore and Emma Robert's are watchable. The way New York is filmed is aesthetically pleasing and the soundtrack is fantastic, one of the best things in the film, filled with delightful indie tunes throughout. A good film to put on if you just want to chill, just dont expect anything exciting and go with the flow.
