Mangoshake subverts the traditional coming of age narrative by exposing the hypocrisy and entitlement beneath its surface. The characters, representing toxic archetypes, are punished for their damage, reflecting the disillusionment and absurdity of our culture's expectations. While not necessarily sympathetic, they must be compelling, as they represent us and must communicate our mistakes. This film is a necessary disruption to the genre, ending its naivety and romantic delusions, and exposing the truth we've been ignoring.
