If Me and Earl and the Dying Girl hit the spot, these will too

Both are working the same pair: growing up, friends

One thread runs through both: growing up

The same two preoccupations: high school, and high school student
The difference: Goes its own way on the stillness

Both land stillness and wit at once

The same mix in both: play, then wistfulness

Drama with a pulse of stillness, in both cases

Witty comedy, and it commits to that
The difference: Leans further into adventure

Both are built on the same subject: teenage boy
The difference: Made in the 1970s, in a different era of the craft

Both keep coming back to the same thing: high school student
The difference: Played as romance first

The same preoccupation in both: high school

Both lean on play more than on drama

Wistful comedy in both cases
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair
