The Art of Getting By is 2011 film written and directed by Gavin Wiesen about a boy name George (Freddie Highmore). He is a very lonely boy who has made through to his senior year of high school and has not done a single day of real work ever. George befriends a girl named Sally (Emma Roberts), she is the popular girl in their grade and although she has many friends she is lonely in her own way too. Sally does not appreciate that the girls she knows are being being fake to one another. After George meets Sally he realizes that he finally has a reason to actually try harder in school and meet people. His principal and art teacher decides its a good idea to introduce George to an alumni art student Dustin (Michael Angarano) to help him guide George in a good path to follow, although distractions get in the way and George may not be able to graduate from high school.
I am really a big fan of this movie because the storyline is one that stays true to real life. It is not like the other movies where there is always a happy ending because even though it is sad but true, real life does not always have a happy ending. The cinematography is done really nicely also and the director has set the mood perfectly with great lighting and the atmosphere that goes along with the movie.
It's very quiet unfortunately.
