2/5

Coast is undeniably empathetic towards the inner lives of kids living in the bland nothingness of California’s Central Coast, but it’s also not got a lot new to add.

Coast story is personal, one of those where we can see a little part of ourselves in those teenage years inside the main characters. [Full review in Spanish].

Coast captures small-town life so honestly that you care deeply what happens to the characters. That’s exactly what you want a movie to do.

3/5

Coast is a different teen movie than typical studio teen movies but Fatima Ptacek--longtime Dora the Explorer voice--delivers a solid performance in this indie film.
