The most original movie about youth I've ever seen. There is none of the shock violence of Elephant, Kids, Thirteen, Bully-----But Bringing Rain is more shocking than all of those films. In it's way, more violent too. The cast, I think, will someday read like a who's who of great dramatic ators. Adrian Grenier is a star, period. Paz de la Huerta also is magnetic. This movie is not to be missed.
