Johnny's comments:

About An Age is a 2018 Australian drama where a small bunch of final year high school kids get together for a 'piss-up'. Michelle (Rachel Lee) is bringing her older boyfriend Jackson (Daniel Cockburn) to meet her brother Dave (Eddie Orton) and friends Brett (Keith Purcell) and Sarah (Ashley Stocco) for the first time. Brett has a crush on Sarah but is too chicken to ask her. Michelle is wavering on whether she wants to go further with Jackson. Sarah is trying to decide whether she wants to do hairdressing and advertising. Brett tells Sarah that Dave had a brief fling with the weird girl at school. This results in tension in the group and in Sarah playing a cruel joke on the weird girl with things coming to the boil.

Very talkie teen drama that has odd references to old things which suggests that this movie was written by people quite a bit older than those portrayed on the screen. Things get a bit repetitive until the cruel joke is played which livens up the movie but it also seems to be the only way the writers knew how to end the movie because it feels like it was going nowhere until then.
