Joseph Coleman

Joseph Coleman steps into the chaos of high school life in “Year 10 (2024),” and honestly, it’s a wild ride. He’s not your classic golden-boy protagonist; he’s awkward, he’s got opinions about everything, and he’s definitely not breezing through this year. The story slaps you right into the mess of friendships that are falling apart and new ones that might just be forming, all with the cringe-worthy tension of group projects and that ever-present dread of being called on in class. Joseph’s got a knack for getting himself into weird situations—think accidental viral moments and a love life that’s basically a meme. His relationship with his parents is, let’s say, complicated. They care, but wow, do they miss the mark sometimes. School isn’t exactly his safe space either; teachers are out of touch, and the social scene is a minefield of fake smiles and low-key betrayals. There’s this running thread about figuring out who you are while everyone else is pretending they’ve got it together. It’s not all doom and gloom, though. The movie’s got plenty of those blink-and-you-miss-it funny bits, and Joseph’s inner monologue? Pure gold. By the time exams roll around, Joseph’s learned a thing or two about loyalty, disappointment, and maybe even a little self-respect. It’s messy, brutally honest, and somehow still hopeful—just like being fifteen.
