The film
Every argument needs a rebuttal.
WORDS, WORDS, WORDS drops an emotionally overwhelmed teenager into the hyper-verbal world of competitive debate, then gives his buried feelings a grotesque life of their own. Romance, ambition, grief, and bodily panic collide in a high-school comedy with body-horror consequences.
Genre
Talk fast.
Grow up faster.
A coming-of-age film where the pressure to perform, win, and say the right thing becomes impossible to contain.
