What critics compared Art School Confidential to
If the film is at all autobiographical, maybe writer/director Gavin Wiesen is remembering seeing 2008's " The Wackness ," where an unpopular kid at a Manhattan prep school whose parents are undergoing financial difficulties meets the girl of his dreams with a highly improper parent or 2006's " Art School Confidential ," where the protagonist's deluded sense of self nearly derails him, all, of course, while chasing the girl of his dreams.
Something of a dark cousin to Spike Jonze’s brilliant Adaptation., Terry Zwigoff’s dark comedy Art School Confidential is a creation by and for artists.
