Alia Bhatt is the latest star to express admiration for Netflix’s Adolescence. Taking to social media, the actress described the series as “truly perfection,” praising everything from the writing and staging to the “EXCEPTIONAL cinematography.”
Reflecting on the filming process, she wrote, “I wonder what it must have felt like after an hour of calling ‘action’—to finally call ‘cut’… How did the entire cast and crew feel????”
She went on to applaud the performances, stating, “Every single person who stepped into the frame brought something alive—raw, real, and so incredibly intense that you could feel the energy through the screen! The magic of storytelling shines as an entire team comes together, with every department pouring their heart and soul into each second on screen. I’m in awe.”
Directed by Philip Barantini and penned by Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham, Adolescence is a gripping crime drama filmed using a one-take technique. While the cast, including Stephen Graham, Ashley Walters, Erin Doherty, Faye Marsay, Christine Tremarco, and Mark Stanley, delivered stellar performances, it was 15-year-old Owen Cooper who stole the spotlight. His emotionally charged portrayal of Jamie Miller has left a lasting impact.
Let’s take a closer look at this young talent and what makes his performance so remarkable.
