The Kids Aren't Alright - Sophomore Year: Dark Comedy and Social Satire

The Kids Aren’t Alright: Troubled Teens on Screen

February 28, 2024

As students’ progress to their sophomore year, our The Kids Aren’t Alright: Troubled Teens on Screen series turns its focus towards the darker side of the genre with films like River’s Edge, Heathers and the iconic social satire of Mean Girls.

This week explores how these films contribute to the evolving landscape of troubled teen narratives, addressing societal expectations, and the challenges of navigating high school dynamics.

In conjunction with this Film Talk, SIFF will present River’s Edge on 35mm at SIFF Cinema Uptown on Monday, February 12.
