Sixteen Shoukougun

Both are using this technique where characters are talking in front a camera, a nice technique to show where these characters are coming from. Sixteen and River's edge are both teen angst driven, the latter is just more messy, has older set of characters, and better acted.

Both titles feature multiple mains, angst-ridden youths with personal struggles that they need to work through as they come of age. Excellent young cast and slow-burn, somewhat poetic direction.
