Pros: Accurate depiction of real teen angst and where it stems from Cons: Moves a bit slow and can be depressing
Dennis Miller once said that before people should be able to buy a video camera they should first be able to prove they have a life worth videotaping. Now I never had any delusions that my life was interesting so I never wrote down my day to day life in...

Pros: characters, emotionally fresh, use of body language over dialogue Cons: pace may seem slow to some, some dull minor cameos
Susan Skoog made her writing and directing debut in 1998 with this subtle, emotionally realistic look at adolescence through the lives of two 17 year-old girls. Since the film was cast strictly through no-name actors, it was unfortunately ignored. The...

Pros: Female point of view, raw and sometimes shocking .... Cons: .... but often too raw and shocking to be convincing, esp. near the end.
Whatever is one in a long list of films about teenagers in their supposedly natural habitat. When they say "natural habitat", they really mean that the director wallowed in depravity and despair – Good Heavens if they ever decided to make a film about...

Pros: well done coming of age drama Cons: nothing really new or stunning
Director Susan Skoog attempts to bypass the usual cliche coming of age dramas, by setting her attempt in the vibrant cultural kitsch of the 80's and provide a relatively interesting palette of misfit characters to revolve the story around. Whatever....

Pros: Crackles with uneasy reality. Brilliant feature film debut. Honest and compelling performance by Liza Weil. Cons: None.
WHATEVER: Drama/coming-of-age film. "Whatever", the feature film debut from writer\director Susan Skoog, crackles with a sense of uneasy reality as it follows it's central character (Liza Weil as Anna Stockard) through her last few rebellious...

Pros: Great acting, good plot, deep themes Cons: none really
Many adults will go to the video store, rent this film out, and view it on a friday night. Upon viewing, many will think that this film is just a waste and vulger. They will think "I would never let my children watch this". Yet, they should...

Pros: visually appealing, very personal, Liz Weil great actor, no women derive pleasure from sex Cons: a little scattered
Susan Skoog must have grown up in New Jersey, too. Constantly grey, humid, and chilly, it's a depressing place to live, and it's all here, on film. Liz Weil, hot young actress (great acting), is the spitting image of Maura Tierney. So very very...

Pros: Liza Weil Cons: The rest doesn't quite live up to her ...
Set for no apparent reason in the early 80s, what saves Whatever from being an "ABC Afterschool Special" with an embarrassing oral sex moment is the very wonderful Liza Weil. Most recently seen as the babysitter in the somewhat...
