Almost every teen film rests on the same premise: Wouldn’t it be awesome if teenagers could just do whatever they want and get laid? It’s a conceit that speaks directly to the rebellious teeny-bopper secretly hiding in all of us. However, Eva Husson’s 2015 French drama, which recently became available to stream, proves that your parents were right. Teenagers are dumb and irresponsible and should not be allowed to roam freely.

Bang Gang (A Modern Love Story) takes a look at the sex lives of a group of bored teenagers. When Alex’s (Finnegan Oldfield) mom leaves him alone in the house for nine months, Alex decides to really cash in on his newfound freedom. What starts out as wild parties and casual romps quickly devolves into organized sex parties filled with booze and drugs, quippily called “bang gangs.” Can’t fault them for the good rhyme. Things spiral even further from typical teen life when videos of these parties start appearing on a password-protected website. Remember how you can always trust the internet with your nude pics and sex tapes? Yeah, me neither.

While Bang Gang does focus on a group of teens having all the sex, at its core, it’s a drama about relationships. The film largely focuses on George (Marilyn Lima) and Laetitia (Daisy Broom), two friends who are active participants in the parties. However, there’s drama afoot. The sultry George becomes unhappy that Laetitia slept with Alex and starts taking out her frustrations by instigating even more reckless behavior. Sexy reckless behavior.

Bang Gang is actually a beautifully shot and interesting look at modern relationships. Though the movie collapses a bit in its final act, it serves as an emotional study that never rebukes its teen protagonists too sharply. However, nothing good can ever last, and that’s especially true of secret underground teen orgies. There’s an internet leak, parents find out, STDs run wild, there’s a pregnancy — it’s a disaster. Though there are heavy repercussions for these sexcapades, there is never a finger-wagging or moralistic tone that implies these misfortunes were unjustly deserved. The movie frames its final act more as a group of people who are forced to face the almost inevitable consequences of their actions. New York Post’s Kyle Smith summed up the movie’s portrayal of consequences well in his review: “The orgies are ghastly and these kids’ connection to love and romance is being destroyed; a price must be paid.”

My takeaway? Teenagers suck, and they can’t be trusted with anything, especially sex. Let the third act of Bang Gang be a warning to you, awkward teen comedy heroes. If you actually achieve your goals and become the popular kid, horrible things will probably happen. Anyway, whether you’re interested in this movie because you love French films, are passionate about award circuit movies, or just want to see a movie about some teens having a ton of sex, Bang Gang (A Modern Love Story) is available on streaming.
