Ascension (2004)
A powerful film

What an adventure into the minds of teenagers and yet, "Ascension" reveals nothing. No smug solutions, no simple answers...just reality. The film is honest and raw. It views the relationship between parent and child as weak at best, states that the media has as much to do with high school shootings as oil has to do with vinegar, and that trust... is a trait well earned.
These are the only remedies given to us in "Ascension." The film is powerful, with a heavy subject, and told well by newcomer Maria Petros. The cast makes "Ascension" really sparkle. Look for the stars in this film to shine and move on to bigger things.
Everything comes together well...but this is not a feel-good movie. Bring a box of tissues to this one folks!
