Young teenagers set off on a river trip in Oregon, from which, Deliverance-like, none will emerge unscathed. An impressive array of young talent that we'll be seeing much more of in years to come, and a director who has the guts to show adolescence in an honest, no-frills way. Outstanding.

Director: Jacob Aaron Estes
Starring: Rory Culkin, Ryan Kelly, Carly Schroeder, Josh Peck
2004 Humanitas Prize, Sundance Film Award
" One of the very first films to accurately portray the experience of growing up male" Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle
"That rare movie that manages to be not only an adroit, carefully observed study in character and suspense, but important" Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
