Why so much hype?

one of my absolute favorites!

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Pretty much nothing of any interest happens throughout this movie. Very small and uninteresting pieces of back-story of the two characters are drip-fed to the viewer. The characters themselves are unlikeable, annoying and childish.The scenery was nice but that can't be the only reason for making a 2 hour long movie that had me staring at the screen wide-mouthed saying "what" repeatedly and wondering when something was going to happen. Couldn't bear to watch the last half an hour so stopped it.It had that feeling to it like you're supposed to feel really inspired and deeply moved by it but the content just wasn't there to back that feeling up.
