Ultimate Coming of Age Tale
7 August 2021
The Way Way Back makes you suffer through some terribly uncomfortable moments, but you feel like it was all worth it in the end. It's a coming-of-age tale through and through with Liam James playing the incredibly awkward and angsty teenager perfectly. The real star though is Sam Rockwell. He plays one of the most lovable characters I've ever seen in cinema. He's funny, relatable, immature but mature at the same, and he's the type of friend and father figure we all needed at some point in our lives. In a seemingly underrated career, this is another great performance by Rockwell, one that is sure to make you laugh out loud on multiple occasions.
