I wished they talked more about the soundtrack! Dev Hynes really nailed it with the music.

I have never been so intrigued with a film before. I relate to everything about this movie on so many levels. Truly a work of art and the best depiction of teenagehood in a suburban environment.

I love the way James Franco looks at Gia, he looks genuinely ecstatic and so grateful

This was a very good movie and I think Nat Wolff's best performance so far, even better than The Fault In Our Stars or Paper Towns. He needs to do more roles like this. Great job.

The fact that James did a movie so he could give the money to her is amazing. That's real dedication right there.

I love this movie

Jack Kilmer looks like Cassie in Skins

jack kilmer? more like jack killme! He's so pretty.

As someone who grew up in the midwest in the middle to upper class environment the reason VICE should be covering this is to show the universal emotions and experiences shared by all young people. The rich kids and the middle class kids are the most emotionally intense people on the planet because when you have no real problems then you can get lost inside of your own mind, and you have to do something crazy to appease yourself. That's what is shown in this film.

He's um kinda beautifully breathtaking lmao

Respect to james franco for believing in Gia Coppola!

this is a great movie for those wallflower kids in high school.. you know who you are

I think jack an amazing performance especially since it was his first time acting, he's a natural.

I'm not even from America let alone even California so I'm not aware of how privileged certain kids are from certain areas or whatever and i'm certainly not wealthy (UK uni student living off a government loan, what's up). However I do know why I loved this film so much and it's all down to the aesthetic and simplicity of it all (and Jack Kilmer). It's beautifully shot and although it seems like not a lot happens it perfectly encapsulates how unexciting, confusing and dumb it can be to be a teenager.

Rich people have rich problems, poor people have poor problems. Everyone has issues lol, it's how you deal that shows your character, not what you were born into.

Jack Kilmer reminds me of a modern day River Phoenix

After i watched Palo Alto he went straight to the list of my favorite movies, and now if i saw this behind the scenes certainly became my favorite. Much love involved!

"we should watch basketball diaires" same

When I read the youtube comments i lose faith in humanity a bit more. So because a teen's rich he/she isn't allowed to be depressed or to have problems ? It's the most stupid thing I've ever heard. I live in a place where there are a lot of privileged teens who can have anything they want, but still, some of them are feeling down most of the time. Money doesn't define how you're supposed to feel or if you can have problems or not. I'm not particularly rich but I have problems and I feel pretty sad at times, just like any other teen from any background can. It's a part of being a teenager : you feel lost, you try to find who you are and your mind is all twisted up. Money can't fix that.

now i've seen this video the movie is even better. it's one of my favorite movies and it's ever greater that they did it with so many hard conditions. pure love for palo alto

this film is so important to me. I heavily relate to April and they capture what its like to be a teenager so well. I love being able to see the process of this movie

gia and natt look sooo alike especially when she smiles

Gia is so genuine and patient with the cast

I LOVE PALO ALTO!!!!!!!!! JACK IS SO CUTIE PIE

Loved the simplicity and aesthetic of this film. Casting was perfect too :)

looks like a young River Pheonix

I wonder who was originally cast as April

Nat wolff? like the one from The Naked Brothers band?

The sound for this behind the scenes was off the chain.

I’m a nineteen-year-old aspiring filmmaker from Central Massachusetts and honestly this film is such an inspiration for me artistically. I love films about teenagers and I feel like what James said about teen movies is totally accurate. However, there are very few modern movies that portray the teenage experience with the authenticity that Palo Alto did. I’m also very inspired by what Gia was able to do as a first-time director without a giant budget. Great movie.

Gia looks like the girl version of Nat Wolff!!! 😂

This is my favorite movie. I am so greatly inspired by Gia and James. This film is my comfort and I’m so thankful for its existence. I come back to this video every now and then to see if anyone comes back to it and appreciates it like I do. Thank you so much Gia and James.

This was brilliant. i havent even seen the film yet but i really love their connection and i fully understand how it felt when it all ended. :) wonderful people

its a very well made movie, that has a + if you considere that is a director debut, and a protagonist debut on it.

Someone really likes Coconut Records.

such an underrated movie, i love the aesthetic a lot

this is one of my favorite movies of all time. I always come back and watch this video after I rewatch the movie. also one of the best soundtracks

man I love this film so fuckin much.

I looooove James Franco

GIA DID SUCH A FUCKING GOOD JOB WITH THAT MOVIE

Anyone who says something like "Fuck Palo Alto, it's just about a bunch of rich kids" is totally missing the point of what the film is about. Please watch before you judge.

this is so beautiful, thank you VICE

This movie reminded me of my teenage years. A lot of the heart break, crazy parties, etc.

jACK IS SO CUTE WHAT THE HECK !!!

I really did love this film and the book was really good too. Gia Coppola is awesome, following in the same foot steps of her family for sure. The movie gives me that virgin's suicides vibe and I think that's why it makes me love it more especially after watching this. Can't wait to see more of Gia's work

This movie looks really good. Oh yeah, and Gia is gorgeous :)

Gia seems really nice

"Tomorrow's our first day, we should probably go to sleep, but fuck it!" Nat please just marry me already!

Such a great documentary!! Makes me want to see the movie!

I loved this, and the movie. Its definitely become one of my favorites

I ADORE THIS FILM

loved this movie, brilliant! one of my all time favorites.

gia seems amazing, chill

i cried.

I especially loved the bit when Francis Ford and Eleanor Coppola showed up at the set. The coppolas are all soo supportive of each other

Loved this movie & the cast-especially the music!

this is so lovely

Anticipating the film very much! James Franco is very inspiring and Gia is amazing

there's something going on with gia and franco. match made.

I love the scenes, I love the landscape, l love the photography, I love this movie

I love the cast in this

Gia Coppola is Sofia Coppola’s niece. Sofia directed he adaptation of the Virgin Suicides that was released in 1999.

All that hard work payed off

Wow this made me just as emotional as the actual movie, especially with Nat tearing up when they wrapped filming. Bless these beautiful beings. ♥

Amazing documentery... It gave me a very similar feeling toward my teenage life now, the emotions seemed to fit the characters that kept me engaged an the entire time I just kept compareing their life to mine, also I liked jack s play in the movie he seemed like a free thinker and you can spot them from a mile away.... good choice Franco PLUR always

I really love this movie. Beautiful movie, James Franco, the director..the actors all of them great work.

This is such a good movie.

Lol, they should do a film on the students at the other high school in Palo Alto (Gunn High School).... in my opinion it would be a different story... we are the ones that have a reputation for suicide.

this is my favourite video on the internet

Wow awesome gotta see this

ive been wanting to see this

Literally in love with gia

fav film ever⭐️

cant wait for this film

genuine, real movie, excited to see it!

I'm really looking forward to this film; it just goes to show that someone will always have it worse or better than you, so you just gotta choose to be happy.

this was awesome

I love the way James looks at Gia. So cute

People whining, Vice has plenty of other videos you may enjoy. If you don't like it, stop watching. It's pretty simple.

Awesome. I wish more movies showcased the same kind of substance in showing the preproduction/behind the scenes shit like this.

I like this documentary more than the film, keep watching it

Love the movie great team from the Director Gia too all the actors Val, Jack etc it's good to see the other side of the tracks , get tired of the same getto movies working with a small budget isn't easy great job everyone should see this great movie we can all learn something from it. Thank you all for Palo Alto.

So good

I came for the franco

This seems like it could be a good movie. I'm definitely going to watch it sometime.

my favourite movie

Loved this movie and all the Coconut records songs :)

I read the book and liked it a lot. Can't wait to see the film. It looks promising and seems true to the novel.
