12 and Holding

I have a soft spot for coming-of-age flicks, and this one was great. A couple of bullies target one boy, but he has three friends to help him through it so they're more of an annoyance than anything to be worried about. That is, until the bullies send a Molotov cocktail into their treehouse with two kids inside. One boy manages to escape, but another dies. The rest of the movie shows how the remaining kids, including the arsonists, cope with his death. They have methods that seem unorthodox on the surface, but do have a basis in reality if you think back to when you were that age. To a lesser extent the film looks at how the dead boy's parents move on, but the kids reactions are far more interesting.
