Did you know? To prepare for his role as the injured basketball player Noah, the actor spent three months training with a former NBA coach—only to have most of his on-court scenes cut from the final film.
Why Watch: "Mood Swings delivers a raw, emotional gut punch, weaving three distinct teen struggles—homelessness, a shattered sports dream, and self-destructive partying—into a gripping, relatable drama. It's a must-watch for anyone who craves authentic coming-of-age stories that tackle real-world pressure without sugarcoating. If you loved *The Edge of Seventeen* or *Mid90s*, this indie gem will stick with you long after the credits roll."
Three vastly different teenagers chase their futures in the same small town, each hitting a wall that could define—or destroy—them. Matthew is thrown out of his home and must hustle for survival, scraping together a living with no safety net. Noah, a basketball star with a golden scholarship, watches his dreams shatter after a devastating injury sidelines him forever. And Eric, the life of every party, finds his reckless habits pulling him into a spiral that threatens to swallow him whole. This raw coming-of-age story explores how far they’ll go when the safety net collapses.
