Palo Alto

“Gia Coppola’s *Palo Alto* captures the hazy, melancholic drift of adolescence with a dreamlike aesthetic that feels both intimate and detached. Anchored by a remarkably vulnerable performance from Emma Roberts, the film avoids sensationalism to offer a raw, atmospheric portrait of suburban aimlessness. It is a must-watch for fans of moody, character-driven indies who appreciate a nuanced look at the quiet desperation of youth.”
