Two grungy male teenage loners form an immediate bond through their shared love of Kurt Cobain, pot-smoking, and skipping school, then add a female friend to the mix, in this atmospheric teen-angst drama-cum-mystery tale set in the early '90s.
“A promising and impressively self-assured debut for 23-year-old filmmaker Miles Joris-Peyrafitte, As You Are is crafted with the confidence and skill of a veteran, but also the youthful eye of someone not far removed from his protagonists.” - Geoff Berkshire, Variety.
