Biggest Swing

The film plummets from its stylish opening through increasingly graphic and disturbing content before recovering slightly with more emotionally grounded character moments.

15 starts promisingly with stylish visuals and authentic character work but alienates audiences with gratuitously graphic content in its middle section. The film recovers somewhat in its final act through genuine emotional moments, but the overall experience remains polarizing and uneven.
