Why you can trust 12DOVE
Royally fed-up with living under their parents’ roofs and rules, best mates Joe (Nick Robinson) and Patrick (Gabriel Basso) turn runaways, building a makeshift shack in the woods.
First-timers Jordan Vogt-Roberts (director) and Chris Galletta (writer) march on well-worn terrain with fresh confidence; their coming-of-ager dishes up laughs and lyricism, sweetness and surrealism.
Like the boys’ home away from home, it’s a bit ramshackle: the Malick-y montages evoking endless summers can feel, well, endless.
But it puts hilarity on repeat too, and the kids are superb – the ups and downs of the Joe/Patrick friendship ring true, while oddball Moises Arias steals scenes left, right and off-centre.
