Towelhead is a masterpiece dare to exhibit the dark sides of puberty in a very explicit way. Though not as sick as American Beauty, this movie definitely requires an open mind to watch. However I am rather impressed that it ended up not being over-dramatized but yet powerful in its subtle honesty. The supporting characters were doing great for playing their roles in dissecting the aforesaid issue into various perspectives. Although the movie leaves much room for improvement, it is a good attempt on an issue not well-covered within the movie industry. Summer Bishil's performance is phenomenal, and like for her role in Crossing Over, I still believe she will be a star to look out in the future.
