Coming of age movies come in many shapes and sizes, but it is a subgenre of films that often evokes a sense of nostalgia for its central characters who are dealing with the challenges of growing up in varying capacities. These films often follow the primary arc of a protagonist moving into the next stage of their lives and center around major changes and milestones, making them frequently relatable to stories often featuring the struggles of adolescents and young adults. There is no shortage of coming of age films, but our team selected Boyhood (2014), and the audience voted to pair Call Me By Your Name (2017). We discuss how these films fit into the coming of age genre and their unique perspectives and merits.
