ValorScore's verdict

Quase 18 é um retrato honesto e comovente sobre as dores do amadurecimento, abordando a solidão adolescente e a dinâmica familiar com sensibilidade e humor afiado. Embora contenha linguagem chula frequente e situações maduras típicas da idade, o filme destaca a importância da empatia, da autocrítica e da reconciliação entre irmãos e pais. Trata-se de uma dramédia juvenil equilibrada e recomendada para o público adolescente mais velho e famílias.
