I didn't know what to expect from this film. As it turns out we seem to share similar experiences of kids from that era (mid to late 1960s). I was in Catholic elementary school, I think a year behind Matt Smith, as I attended the southernmost Catholic parochial school in Chicago. While specific experiences are different, the commonality of relationships with classmates, outsiders, and the clergy ring true. I found myself laughing out loud at some of the characterizations and anecdotes. Well done film! I would be curious to see how it plays with an unfamiliar audience.
