THE WACKNESS (2008)

JONATHAN LEVINE

Plot

The story centres upon a troubled high school student named Luke Shapiro, a teenage pot dealer, who forms a friendship with Dr Jeffrey Squires, a psychiatrist and kindred lost soul. When the doctor proposes Luke trade him weed for therapy sessions, the two begin to explore both New York City and their own depression; two disillusioned and confused individuals drifting towards some kind of peace. Set during 1994 and with a cracking hip hop score, 'The Wackness' is a whimsically offbeat comedy drama.
