The mom telling the son as to why he's so different from when he was a kid, and the son only saying "sorry" feels so relatable. It's those times where it's hard to explain because you know they'd overreact if you tell more.

Coming-of-age A24 films are unparalleled

As the mother of a 14 year old boy, I can tell this movie is going to be amazing. I cried just from the trailer. I love how this is going to be from both the mom's perspective and the son's. I am an idealist and I raised my son to be one of the one's who defied the odds and used compassion to change the world. His behavior as a young child led me to create expectations. However, my teenager helped me to see that those types of expectations aren't empowering, they are crushing for him and for me. I've learned to see the things he is doing are beautiful and impactful--just in a different way than I expected. And that who I thought he was at age 6 is not who he is at age 14 and it won't be who he is at age 20. I needed to let go of the expectations and just love him unconditionally and provide advice when I have something helpful to say. And most importantly realize that I'm still changing too. The best scene in this trailer is when the mother is telling her son in the car what she had thought he was going to be, but he isn't that at all, and he says "sorry about that." He says it so genuinely it reminded me of my son. He wants to make me proud so much, but without meaning to, I was expecting near perfection. And I also relate to what the mom sees in her job. I did absolutely incredible, compassionate, life-changing things when I was a kid and a teen. But I understand now that it was because my childhood was very traumatic. My children have safe, supportive lives. So instead of focusing on how to save people and save themselves, they get to focus on exploring themselves and the world and being creative. Its amazing when some people rise to the occasion in a horrible situation and become incredible human beings that change the world. But I wouldn't wish those horrible situations on to anyone even if great things come from it. I'm glad that my children get to feel safe enough in their lives that they spend their weekends playing instead of starting groups to rescue the down-trodden like I did. I did that because I wanted to be saved and I didn't know how to do that. I want my kids to also be compassionate, so we volunteer together and have discussions about psychology and sociology.

I love seeing Alisha Boe getting high level work since 13 Reasons Why, she was honestly one of the most talented actors who worked in that show and it’s good to see her getting more roles

Jesse Eisenberg seriously doesn't get enough credit as a storyteller. He's incredibly talented. With him collaborating with A24, I'm definitely thrilled to see this.

I love the subtlety of her replying "No, no, I didn't say that" instead of "No, no, I don't think that," when he asks if she thinks he's stupid. Jesse Eisenberg never misses.

As a mom of a teenaged son this brought me to tears aged she says “ You used to be my little ally”…God, these years are hard but we’ll get through them 🤍🤍🤍. I can’t wait to see this with my son.

Seems like a pretty universal story, the generational divide between parents and their teen children who have a drastically different world view as well as all the awful emotions that come with being a teen.

You know a film will be good when just the trailer moves me to tears… props to Eisenberg, Finn, Julianne Moore and the rest of the team!

i know it’s not subtle or anything but the irony of him opening the door when she’s in the shower right after she opened his door and he got pissed was so funny

Thank you A24 for being such a reliable and consistent group of storytellers. Anytime I see that logo I know I’m in for a movie that does more than speak words and flash images. I’ve always respected Jesse Eisenberg as an actor but this looks to be where his true talent lies. This is the type of role I want to see Finn Wolfhard in, he’s a talented musician and a decent actor when he has good material and this looks like the perfect role to show the world that he’s more than Mike from Stranger Things. This trailer gave me chills and is totally relatable as I had a similar relationship with my father. Can’t wait to see this and more from A24

I keep on returning to this trailer. Something about it is so deeply comforting to me and feels so nostalgic, I’m very excited to see this in its entirety

A24 saving the movie industry .

They literally dont stop, hit me in the feels growing up with a single mother and being distant at times. In A24 we TRUST!

"You stopped being interested in anything besides your own little world." "Sorry about that" Damn that hit

It's just a trailer and I already got tears in my eyes.

What amazing cast

I think Finn has been wanting to be in an A24 film. Good for him this looks great

*Just watched this movie. I dunno, I feel like the trailers promise way more than the movie gives. Spoilers below, but if I’m being honest I don’t recommend watching the movie. It felt really dull and slow paced mostly. Here’s my review:* I expected Ziggy to be a relatable teenager and his mother Evelyn to be somewhat of a future vision for me in case I ever have kids but they were neither. Ziggy is a horrible guy, and Evelyn is a bad mother. They are both incredibly rude and selfish people and make nearly everyone around them uncomfortable. Basically Ziggy’s whole story is that he wants to become political to get laid and Evelyn’s story is that she wants to play mother for this random guy named Kyle because he’s exactly what she wants her son to be, the latter even became creepy to a point where I thought the mother had some kind of sensual motives with the guy who’s still underage. I admit I was occasionally a brat in my puberty but it was really overwhelmingly exaggerated with Ziggy. They both learn (I’m assuming) that they were using these people for selfish reasons but then the movie speedruns through the end without a satisfying payoff so it doesn’t even really matter anyway. Characters who are jerks are easy to hate, but they can be likable if they are well-written like having them be hilarious or really intelligent to throw off and entertain the viewer. However this is tough to do as a writer, and this movie failed to do it. Ziggy and Evelyn come off as incredibly uninteresting and manipulative assholes, and they’re the main characters. Every time it introduces an idea that might make the two characters a bit more interesting and give them some sort of a background, nothing is done with it, it’s just brought up and then left untouched for the rest of the movie. If anything I was more interested in the dad whose name I don’t even know, Lila and Kyle but they were only there for Ziggy and Evelyn’s “character arcs”. Ever since learning about the mother’s job and Lila’s thoughts on the world, I expected this movie to have a dark undertone with maybe some comedy thrown in for a good balance. But this movie was neither dark nor comedic, I just felt second hand embarrassment through most of it and even skipped a few parts because I cringed too much. Like in the trailer, the dad brings up suicide among teens and I thought that maybe Ziggy’s socialization struggles might make him feel extremely lonely and depressed and that’s why he streams, and that near the end he might confess that he’s indeed struggling with himself. But no, it turns out he really only streams for money just like he said throughout the entire film, and when he talks bad about himself he only does it to victimize himself. There weren’t any good jokes that landed and I feel like any visual attempt at comedy didn’t even make me smile. So basically the movie failed in being both a comedy and a drama with a darker undertone. At the end I just wondered what the movie was even trying to be, and going back to this trailer I still don’t get it. Then some minor things, I also thought that the dialogue felt too scripted at times and didn’t flow naturally. The slang is very unbelievable, I’m 20 and my younger brother is 18, we both use/hear slang daily and the movie sounds nothing like it. The father’s struggle in the family is completely forgotten and unresolved. The music unfortunately doesn’t sound very good and the literal main theme is almost annoying and too loud and overstays its welcome every single time when it plays. The transitions could use some work. To finish of on a high note, I did think the climax was well done between Evelyn and Kyle, and Ziggy and Lila. At the start of the movie I was almost afraid that the movie would pair these duos together awfully but I’m glad to say it didn’t. Lila told Ziggy exactly what he was doing was wrong and disrespectful and I like how she called him “a little boy” like Ziggy’s own mother probably thinks of him. And Kyle fearing that Evelyn will be kick him and his real mother out of the foster if Kyle won’t go to college, this didn’t even cross my mind and I thought it was really subtle how Kyle simply went along with Evelyn this whole time because of this underlying fear. Nice job! I also think Alisha Boe and Billy Bryk did a good job subtly conveying their confusion and annoyance with Evelyn and Ziggy’s actions. Not too subtle so the viewer can notice, but subtle enough so that Ziggy and Evelyn don’t see it. You can tell that Lila and Kyle tried to go along with them to be nice but they were absolutely irritated and I want to applaud that acting. I felt the desperation and passion from Lila when she read her poem out loud, starting nervously but getting more and more confident the more she reads. I liked it! The camerawork is simple, but effective, I wish it could’ve done something more but it’s nothing to complain about. In a nutshell I’m just kind of disappointed. I expected more from a movie which has Finn Wolfhard and Julianne Moore in it. And I genuinely feel bad for being so negative about the movie when I like these actors. I tried to like it, I gave it a shot and thought about it for a while but in all honesty the movie is just kind of embarrassing and boring when it didn’t need to be. I’m sorry, the movie has its moments, and I get it was trying to do something different, but it didn’t work. I rate it a generous 4/10.

I don't know why but this trailer made feel a tons of different emotions. The cast will surely give a dazzling performance and the story might bring tears to our eyes

Got to see an early showing of this last December as part of a focus group and it was really good! Performances were terrific all around and a really unique story. Highly recommend.

I'm just surprised it took Jesse Eisenberg this long to direct a film! Loving how much A24 supports projects that shoot on film.

"I'm right here, dude!" This line is brilliant.

A24 never misses. This one’s going to be good!

Shout out Jesse Eisenberg for being multi talented!!!🎬

"You stopped being interested in anything outside your own little world." Really hit home.

This movie is gonna hit home, just knowing so many people with parents exactly like this. Ignorant, judgemental and having their own expectations on what their "child" should be like, without actually trying to understand and love their kid for who they are

This looks so good, I can tell just by the trailer this is going to be heartfelt and emotional. I can't wait to see Julianne and Finn's performance together when this comes out.

I’m so happy that Alisha Boe is getting out there more. I’ve always thought she had a lot of potential and talent as an actress!

"I'm right here, dude." That made me laugh out loud. 😂

i can tell this movies gonna make me cry. it really got me when ziggy’s dad said “Are you happy?” “I think so.”

"you stopped being interested in anything outside of your own little world." - I kind of feel like thats normal for a person at his age though. We go through such stages. It can be pretty daunting.

"I thought you were gonna be one of the good ones" has to be the absolute meanest thing you could say to a child outside of outright abuse. Goddamn.

I love seeing so many actors from shows I used to watch. I know some of these actors are almost 30 and they're still playing at high school role, but it looks pretty good.

I can most definitely relate to all the feelings through this trailer being so close to Finns characters age

This film is good, but I swear A24 can release the most straightforward, by the numbers, not particularly revolutionary trailer and there will still be comments going "a24 literally saving the film industry" or "a24 NEVER misses not once" or "FINALLY a story nobody has seen before is allowed to be told THANKS A24"

Songs as far as I can tell: 0:00-0:10 Happy If You're Happy by Matt & Kim 0:11-0:30 Excuse My Brain by The Aubreys (technically covered by Finn's character in the movie) 0:32-0:52 Brother by the Aubreys 0:53-2:24 Original song for the movie?

parents be like: how do I respect a single boundary?

I love the last part of the movie where Ziggy was looking straight to Evelyn's greatest achievement at the shelter and then Evelyn was watching Ziggy's greatest achievement. It's like two mirrors in different perspective of people.

“Andale andale” at the end was so cute lol

I feel like watching this movie will hurt me because I was that age once and thought I knew everything (well I didn't know everything) and now I am older I feel like I can understand both their povs. My parents really shielded me a lot and they didn't let me do anything outside of school. I resent them so much for this because I feel like I could have done a lot given the time and energy I had. Looking back I don't think I have anything interesting that happened during my teenage years.

Glad seeing Finn Wolfhard getting some work and honestly this movie seems really good!

That last shot of the car cracked me up 🤣🤣🤣🤣

A24 restoring my faith in humanity’s ability to cut trailers

oh boy. the vibes are heavy in this trailer. as someone who has struggled with clinical depression since middle school, this might hit too close to home. cant really tell. can't wait

parents... where you never teenagers or something? honestly you cant possibly tell me you haven't gone through the growing phase where life sucks everything is stupid and everyone around you is dumb its totally normal people need to stop being surprised when teens enter this phase because pushing against it is doing more harm than good

Wow, Jesse Eisenberg. Really rad to see him developing in the world of film. He really is gifted. Great casting choices too.

Lyrics from song in the movie called Pieces of Gold Pieces of gold straddling paper All into nothing and turning to vapor The air is thin, the locks are set You lift your chin, she feigns regret [Chorus] Two high-speed trains on parallel tracks Running out of steam, not turning back Two high-speed cars on parallel streets Never gonna crash, never gonna meet [Verse 2] She can't contend with what I'm selling I can't pretend it's not for telling [Chorus] Two high-speed trains on parallel tracks Running out of steam, not turning back Two high-speed cars on parallel streets Never gonna crash, never gonna meet

I absolutely loved the audiobook of the same name, but this looks like Eisenberg is taking the movie in a different direction. If y’all didn’t know, the original is on Audible and it really hits you in the feels. Can’t wait!

an A24 film with alisha boe and finn wolfhard?!! this is gonna be so good😫

Jesse Eisenberg man. He's involved in some incredible movies. Adventureland being one of my favs. Excited to see him direct this one

This feels like an indie GEM! ❤️ I CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH IT!

Great to see Finn got out of being typecasted in 80s nostalgia films.

You ever watch a trailer for something and just know immediately "god damn this movie is gonna make me bawl my eyes out if I watch it."

I'm college graduate now. Working in office with Co-workers as ancient looking as Morgan Freeman. Anyway, one old-woman (my coworker) asked me if I'm a good daughter. It stopped me from what I'm doing. I stared blankly at the computer monitor and smile to myself and said to her, "I don't know..."--while I'm contemplating all the things that suddenly flooded to my mind, about childhood traumas, physical abused, verbal abuse, and even the words I heard from my mother bwfore that, 'you should have never born', hit me like a raging sea. And when my coworker said, "Ohh, you should be good. Daughters should be good to their parents...", all I could say is, "I--I don't know. I think, I am good. Well, isn't it good that all I know is places like home, school, and church? I don't know. I thnk that's good."...but deep inside I could hear my arguing to my mother, our shouts, my sarcastic remarks to her, and all the things I never tried to say to her face since I was little. All those things made me believe that I will never be a good daughter. But who are these people to judge anyway?--My coworkers. They never struggled to live in a life with an alcoholic father, or hit multiple times by anything just because you didn't get to do what your parents order you to do, or made you compare to other kids who's doing great academically. You never been bullied at school and lie to your parents that 'there's no teacher today so I absent'. You were never blamed when your sister almost died when she was only a 1 and half year old and you're just 4 years old, getting beaten up with broomstick or metal belt. And you were never called by your own parents like, 'Witch, stupid, demonic-child, useless, shameful,' and whatever words they could muster and at the end of the day, until you get older, you realized, you should've fought them, you should have stop those monstrous things they did to you so you won't feel suffocated and think about death as an escape. This movie mockingly and intricately features all the happenings in reality and it saddened me. Because I love superheroes or the one who saved the world. You know you'll love them if your world inside was falling apart. That's why you most need them.

Looking forward to it! Seems like an incredible cast, and good to see Finn back 🌸🌸

Oh no, oh nooo, this feels so close to reality that the trailer made me tear up with Julianne's character AND Finn's character... Gonna need those tissues.

Julianne Moore is a powerhouse actor. She does a lot of the acting with her eyes and its a delight to watch. Excited for this

I'm so excited for this movie. I just know it's gonna make me cry.

*sigh* This is going to be a tear-jerker... I'm already holding back tear pressure just from the damned trailer. A24 never misses!

IVE BEEN SO EXCITED FOR THIS FOR SO LONG! i listened to the audio story a while back and ive been waiting for this ever since!! It looks brilliant! Very excited to see how they adapt it from the original audio form (i expect there will be a lot of differences)

bro love all the old 2000 style this filming technique has

alisha boe and finn wolfhard as love interests ???? this finna be a trip i’m exicted

I always knew in my heart that Jesse Eisenberg is more than just a talented actor

As a mom with a 17 yo son...this is probably gonna make me cry

The ending had me moved to tears

-"Ziggy, are you happy?" -"I think so. Why are you asking me?" -"Cause I'm reading this article about teen suicide and it's highest in your age group." -"Okay. Thanks dad." Sounds like a little poem.

so excited for this, it's crazy to see how much finn wolfhard has grown. i'd absolutely love to watch him in an a24 coming of age film.

A24 love getting famous actors/comedians/etc. to have there debut with them.

So many feelings from just a trailer ♥️ As a 31 year old mom of an 11 year old I relate to both the mom and the kid. I want to be a mom that “gets it” since mine really didn’t, though she tried, but I can already tell I’m fumbling. This parenting shit is hard man. Sometimes I worry I’m trying so hard not to repeat my own childhood trauma I’m creating entirely new shit 🙃 And like, creating boundaries when your parents gave you none is hard?? Like I’m still figuring shit out on my feet and trying to teach it to my kids like, “this is what is apparently helpful and normal, even though I’ve never seen it in action”. Pretty sure this movie is going to put me through the wringer, but I’m here for it 😅

Nice seeing a trailer where a lot was put into it without really giving the story away. I saw enough to wanna see more yet still have questions.... and it's a good thing

I'm literally only going to be watching this for Finn. When I tell you I FREAKED OUT when "Brother" started playing I mean it.

The Aubreys being the soundtrack 🤍

i watched this film on the plane and i’m in love with the warm ambiance of it

finally a movie that accurately describes what its like to be a teenager in todays world.

The music is the thing that gripped my soul here. Hope the whole film is filled with it.

Julianne Moore always brings authenticity to a ground led character. She’ll nail this.

I feel like this kid will play one of the Ramones in an inevitable biopic

Finally a film that's interesting because it came from the heart and people actually wanting to work in it. Thank you I hope it's good.

Just found out I'm going to be having a boy, and this trailer hit on a whole different level. I hope he will feel free to cry at movie trailers like I am lol

THE NAME OF THE SONG IS…. ‘Pieces of gold’ - Ziggy Katz Available one Apple Music and Spotify Thank me later I know how many of you have been looking for this song ❤️

"I agree with you"... "How?" ... "Oh shit." basically sums up the times we live in so perfectly. Looks great!

Saw a preview screening of this ages ago- a bit darker than the trailer but absolutely hysterical. 10/10.

"you were going to be my little ally :(" feels like a lot of millenial parents coming to terms with their aging gen z kids who have a different outlook than they do

Coming of Age films by A24 hit different. Im glad they've incorporated the parents and their feelings in this too ❤️

This make me cry man, so relatable.

Can anyone tell me the name of the song that goes from 1:35 to the end please ? I really like it and I can't find it (even with Shazam haha :,)

I love to see films like this, let alone directed by Jesse Eisenberg!

'you stopped being interested in anything outside your own little world' ooooooft that hit me

I love how they played brother for the song!

1:57-2:01 Trust me. It only takes one hell of a heartache for you to close that window to the whole world.

Excited for this one

Seems A24 has a secret plan to win all the Oscars from now on 😅

Sempre de olho nos filmes da A24!

Anyone knows the soundtrack from 1:40 up to the end of the trailer? Thanks!

this trailer has me feeling some typa way. feel like i can relate to this majorly and a lot of people can. gonna be a good movie

the final minute of the trailer? Ended with me tearing up, my fucking god, I’ve always believed finn is ready for these kind of roles and with lady godess Julianne Moore? Am so ready for it. I teared up because I think this movie will hit me so deep because of my process of discovering myself and my relationship with my family that I honestly, can’t wait to cry like a little kid with this movie

All the amazing actors, writers and directors combined. This will be a huge success and it already seems to be really good

I'm telling everyone I know that this is a Lady Bird prequel.

He seems like a cool kid full of interesting projects. All I can say is mothers are impossible to please.
