All
about the film "DARE":
|
|
 DARE
follows three very different teenagers through the last
semester of high school.There are Alexa (Emmy Rossum), the
overachieving good girl who longs to break out of her shell;
Ben (Ashley Springer), the melancholy outsider confused about
his sexuality; and Johnny (Zach Gilford), the rich kid who
has everything, including good looks, but hides behind his
bad boy persona. This unlikely trio fall into each other's
lives and each other's arms, making a last ditch effort to
shake things up before they actually have to start living
as adults. Director Adam Salky and writer David Brind takes
us into some uncharted territory with fresh eyes and matter-of-fact
authority. Sweet and sexy don't always go together, but they
work beautifully in this instance because the sexuality of
the film is cleverly woven into the fabric of the story. You
can ask why the kids are in such a hurry to experience adult
feelings, especially when their parents, comically enough,
are afraid to get in the way. All is answered in the nuanced
performances of this exceptional cast. They capture perfectly
a generation with nothing to rebel against except their self
imposed inhibitions. By being keenly perceptive, director
Salky stacks up countless priceless moments in crafting teen
romance with a decidedly modern spin. In DARE, the kids do
what they need to do to become the adults they should.
