ONLY THE YOUNG
ABOUT
Garrison and Kevin are best friends. They skate every day and explore the underpasses and abandoned homes of their Southern California desert idyll. But everything changes when Garrison discovers the opposite sex. ONLY THE YOUNG powerfully summons up an evanescent moment: that potent stew of teenage urgency, boredom, and young love that adults misconstrue as aimless wandering. ONLY THE YOUNG isn’t jealous of youth, it is youth. - David Wilson
