The Kids Are All Right … aren’t they?
Today, a new movie called “The Kids are All Right” hits theaters, and for A.O. Scott, film critic from The New York Times, it inspired him to ask: are the kids REALLY all right?
In a new article called “They Grow Up So Quickly, Don’t They?” he looks at this summer’s new releases that speak to the state of childhood and adolescence and family today.
