The Freshmen (2018)
9/10
Rings so close to what I lived
22 July 2021
Having gone through a similar path myself, it reminded me of a time that what very painful to me but that made me a stronger person as well. The character study and its portrayal with both leads absolutely on point made this film a must-see and I'm certain I'll revisit the film several times. A beautiful friendship set in a life-changing period of one's life (professionally, morally and physically).

The exams scenes made me relive the anxiety of being one grain of sand in the desert, seeing the ocean of competitors surrounding me. Although the exam centre was Vincennes for my own experience, the atmosphere was the same.
