The film evokes the spirit of 1970s American teen life of freedom and rebellion. This was a time when kids could live wildly before entering adulthood. The film also subtly reflects the director's concerns about love and friendship. The cast, now well-known, were still young and fresh-faced at the time.

8/10. The film captures the essence of 1970s American high school life, with an excellent soundtrack to match. The director attempts to balance traditional storytelling with a more free-flowing, slice-of-life approach, and while the balance works, it also limits his creative expression.

I saw it for the first time during the pandemic, and oh man, how it made me laugh but also miss hanging out, dreaming, and making absurd jokes with my friends. What an epic soundtrack selection (the opening scene with Sweet Emotion!). The way Linklater makes us feel melancholy for a moment we didn't live is simply memorable. A movie to hang out with your old friends on and off screen. I can't fail to mention McConaughey's first on-screen appearance: ICONIC.

8/10. La película captura la esencia de la vida en la escuela secundaria estadounidense de los años 70, con una excelente banda sonora a juego. El director intenta equilibrar la narración tradicional con un enfoque más libre, de fragmentos de la vida, y aunque el equilibrio funciona, también limita su expresión creativa.

O filme evoca o espírito de liberdade e rebeldia da vida adolescente americana dos anos 70. Essa era uma época em que os jovens podiam viver loucamente antes de entrar na vida adulta. O filme também reflete com sutileza as preocupações do diretor com o amor e a amizade. O elenco, hoje bem conhecido, ainda era jovem e novo na época.

8/10. O filme capta a essência da vida no ensino médio americano dos anos 70, com uma excelente trilha sonora para combinar. O diretor tenta equilibrar a narrativa tradicional com uma abordagem mais fluida, do tipo “pedaço de vida” e, embora o equilíbrio funcione, também limita sua expressão criativa.

La película evoca el espíritu de la vida adolescente estadounidense de los años 70 de libertad y rebeldía. Esta era una época en la que los niños podían vivir salvajemente antes de entrar en la adultez. La película también refleja sutilmente las preocupaciones del director sobre el amor y la amistad. El elenco, ahora bien conocido, todavía era joven y de rostro fresco en ese momento.

Alright, alright, alright!

Um clássico teen dos anos 90, infalível em todos os personagens, do começo ao fim, e toda vez que eu citar essa fala.
