Twitter Capsule: Occasionally stiff in its writing or messaging but story and actors still feel modern. Colors pack a punch.

VOR: ⑤  Still stands as a landmark of youth cinema and a constant point of reference for filmmakers in multiple genres. Ray fans tend to prefer other titles, but I'll take this one.
