Spanning a school year, TRY HARDER! is a gentle and curious film, mostly interested in the experiences and perspectives of its young subjects.

[A] simultaneously charming and chastening documentary on the senior class in Lowell High...
Variety
3 stars out of 4 -- [A] charming dark comedy with a light touch, with part of its self-deprecating humor right there in the title. These kids try plenty hard.

Watching these bright, motivated young people apply for and be admitted to (and rejected from) the Ivy League has all the energy of a high-stakes poker game and a reality competition show combined.

Product Description:
Documentary filmmaker Debbie Lum weaves together diverse narratives and testimonies by over-achieving students enrolled at Lowell High School, one of California's highest-ranking schools for academic achievement. Anticipating their graduation, rising seniors discuss their journeys and duties as academically gifted students as the pressure of receiving acceptance letters to prestigious universities mounts, putting their fragile mental states in jeopardy. At the heart of the narrative stands a cohort of first-generation immigrants seeking to attend university and make their families proud.
