“We Are Who We Are,” an HBO series directed by visionary Luca Guadagnino, has been breaking — no, obliterating — boundaries surrounding the lives of modern youth. Chloe Sevigny is spectacular as Fraser’s mother, a general struggling to find common ground between her and her son. Rising star Jack Dylan Grazer captures the narcissism of the common teen, all the while exploring Fraser’s emotional depths. I cry, then chuckle, when Fraser wraps his arms around his mother and then says he hates her. One side plot of the series is the relationship that develops between Caitlyn’s mother Jenny (Faith Alabi), and Fraser’s step-mother Maggie (Alice Braga).
