Some places are a state of mind.

Such is the case with

Palo Alto (2013)

or perhaps someone's state of mind.

In this case Gia Coppola and James Franco who takes a lead role.

Teenagers in a rich suburban town. Nothing new. An old saw really.

But the film is fun to look at if a bit boring to behold.

There is some excitement, life and death. But not enough to pull the movie out of the doldrums of the Netflix2's. I watched the whole thing and resisted the FF but at times it was hard not to help the kids get over themselves.

A 3 out of Netflix5. Grudgingly. The more I think about it the less I like the whiny little girl.
