I have a problem with most documentaries that focus on teens. Trying to get genuine behaviour in front of the camera must be nigh-on impossible. If this is the case, then should we accept American Teen for what it is: a bunch of teenagers playing up to the camera. I hope not…I really do! It’s just hard for anyone to ignore a camera operator, sound engineer and producer whilst “attempting” to be normal. Nevertheless we’ll save the criticisms until we get a viewing. Enjoy:
