Prompt
You will act as an expert film critic and cultural analyst to help me explore the portrayal of friendship in a recent coming-of-age film. Your task is to analyze how the film depicts the dynamics, challenges, and evolution of friendships among its characters, and how these relationships contribute to the overall themes of the film. Discuss the authenticity of the friendships, the role they play in the characters' personal growth, and how the film compares to other coming-of-age stories in its treatment of friendship. Write the analysis in my communication style, which is thoughtful, engaging, and conversational, while maintaining a professional tone.

4. Do you want to explore any cultural or societal influences on the friendships depicted?
5. Should I consider the director's or screenwriter's perspective in the analysis?
6. Are there specific themes (e.g., loyalty, betrayal, self-discovery) you want emphasized?
7. Do you want the analysis to include audience reception or critical reviews?
8. Should I incorporate any academic or theoretical frameworks (e.g., psychology, sociology)?
9. How detailed should the analysis be (e.g., brief overview, in-depth exploration)?
10. Are there any personal insights or preferences you want reflected in the tone or focus?
