The Crush (1993)

This is a film by Alan Shapiro.

Is about a 14-year-old girl that develops a crush on her much older new neighbor. slowly she starts being more obsessive and it starts affecting his personal life and career as a writer.

(I also developed a crush on nick! 🤭)

A fun fact about this film is that this story is based on Alan Shapiro's experience.

He even got sued by the real girl because he used her real name in the film, they had to change the character's name from Darian to Adrian, and you can even hear a bit of the editing for the change of names at some scenes of the movie.

This was also Alicia Silverstone’s debut movie :)

Also, from the clues given in the film and through research, Adrian had BPD which by knowing some BPD characteristics and now being aware that she struggles with it makes the film make more sense and it gives you more of Adrian's point of view.

I wonder if that was added to the movie or did the real-life Adrian struggled with it too.

rotten tomatoes gave this film a ROTTEN 4/10 rating

I give this film a 9/10 :)
