The story begins with a drama of a different kind. The story began with Caroline Wesler, who moved into a strange society always because of an industrial fire after her father had a new job in that strange region. Along the way, Carolina faces a love triangle between her teacher, Mr. Anderson and her classmate Thorston. At the same time there is a serial killer who may have supernatural powers and a satanic thought.
"Daydream Nation" rolls elements of "Juno," "American Beauty," "Donnie Darko" and "Twin Peaks" into a potent blunt.

Director/writer Mike Goldbach's first half of the film is engaging ..., suspenseful (who is the "man in the white suit?"-with a delectable shade of grey served up red herring style) and masterfully balanced.
The goodwill that the charming Dennings has built up in earlier films, such as 40-Year-Old Virgin and Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, doesn't excuse this role.
