10 Best Indie Coming-Of-Age Movies

"Often, when viewers watch coming-of-age films, the characters on screen don't reflect their experiences. There is a certain formula to the mainstream teen movie that usually includes certain high school superlatives and a heterosexual romance. Indie films offer an alternative to the average teen flick. Their characters are more diverse and therefore better reflect society. Additionally, they actually hire teenage actors or, at the least, young adults that look like teenagers. They also explore a wide variety of issues facing young people, such as sexuality, drug and alcohol use, and the realities of growing up, in ways that feel authentic."
