The Batman director Matt Reeves discloses that Adolescence affected him very deeply
On the red carpet of the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards that took place earlier today, Matt Reeves was in discussion with The Hollywood Reporter about the details of his upcoming movie, The Batman Part II, which will also star Robert Pattinson in the leading role.
During the course of this discussion, Reeves disclosed how watching the Netlix show Adolescence really affected him deeply. Speaking about this, he says,
"We’re starting to gear up and we’re talking about different crew people for [‘The Batman: Part 2’], and I was talking to some of the people at Plan B, and I was just telling them how blown away I was by ‘Adolescence.’ That show really got to me. I was really affected."

Adolescence is a show about a young teenage boy who is suspected of murder when one of his classmates goes missing. The story follows the character of Jamie Miller, brilliantly portrayed by Owen Cooper, as he is detained and the detention unravels and brings to light the views he held about his suspected murder victim, Katie Leonard, and women in general.
Aside from Jamie's journey, we also get to see a different perspective - that of Jamie's family, and how they navigate the horrors of their child being accused of murder and how that affects their social standing.
The show was released back in March this year, and is spread over four bone-chilling episodes. Adolescence is available to stream on Netflix and is a must-watch for all fans of the crime thriller genre.
