Anthony Quinn Independent (UK) Rated: 1/5 Dec 31, 2010 Full Review Philip French Guardian Unfortunately the scenes set in the real world (the locations include Camden Lock and the London Zoo) are stilted and unconvincing, while those in the chatrooms become increasingly tedious. Dec 27, 2010 Full Review Sukhdev Sandhu Daily Telegraph (UK) Pantomimic dialogue, stagey sets and underwritten characters render this instantly obsolescent. Rated: 1/5 Dec 24, 2010 Full Review Kaleem Aftab The List Veers into thriller territory with predictable results. It's strange that a movie so lacking in substance arrives with such pedigree. Rated: 2/5 Nov 6, 2018 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Common Sense Media Shallow, violent movie could spark teen discussion. Rated: 2/5 May 20, 2014 Full Review Alistair Harkness Scotsman Nakata - here making his English language debut - fails to drum up much in the way of tension from the plot's hoky attempt to exploit fears about the existence of online suicide clubs. Rated: 2/5 Dec 27, 2010 Full Review Read all reviews

Robson C Cinco jovens se reúnem em uma sala de chat chamada Chelsea Teens! e começam a trocar confidências entre si, criando laços de amizade. Porém, um deles tem interesses mais escusos em relação aos outros. A Internet é uma das grandes inovações do homem nos últimos anos. A revolução que ela causou na vida de todas as pessoas do planeta, talvez, não tenha sido mesurada. Porém, mesmo com tantos benefícios oferecidos e ainda a oferecer, os malefícios sempre nos assombram e nos levam a pensar sobre aquele mundo virtual. Bullying, fake news, pedofilia, preconceitos, etc. Este filme usa um dos grandes malefícios da rede que são pessoas que incentivam outras ao suicídio, como no famoso jogo da baleia azul. Os cinco jovens reunidos estão passando por problemas pessoais que não conseguem se abrir a familiares ou profissionais, preferindo fazer isso com estranhos que se escondem atrás de nicknames ou avatares que não os representam. Neste pequeno grupo temos vítimas de bullying, depressão, que se cortam, que sentem que não são amadas pelos seus pais. Um grupo de pessoas que uma fagulha certa pode levar a uma desgraça. O filme se passa em dois mundos: o real, onde conhecemos os membros deste grupo e os seus problemas, e o virtual, nas salas de bate-papo que eles participam, além da Chelsea Teens!. A representação virtual é bem interessante, como um corredor cheio de portas, onde você pode entrar se for permitido ou você tiver a senha. Porém, acho que a duração do filme não permitiu desenvolver a história de todos os membros. Em um determinado momento, não sabemos mais nada sobre o que acontece a dois dos membros, ficando focados nos outros três, principalmente em Jim, que sofre de depressão, e William, o criador da sala de chat. Eles só retornam no final, quando o filme abandona o mundo virtual e se volta para o mundo real. Aí o filme acelera para chegar logo na resolução, sem explicar como certas coisas são feitas, ficando mais fantasioso (do que o mundo virtual). Os atores e as atrizes dos membros do grupo estão muito bem, com destaque para o Aaron Taylor Johnson, que faz o William, transitando entre uma figura que impressiona os amigos para alguém consumido por problemas internos de saúde mental. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/24 Full Review Ruoxi Z I thank you Richard Madden stop taking this kind of appointment. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/06/22 Full Review Audience Member This movie had crossed me many times, flipping through my cable TV channels, but as I am not into this kind of stuff (chatrooms) I always snubbed it. Now, as I finally watched it (it's a 2010 movie) it was, to my surprise and contrary to anything I imagined, an incredible insight into modern day people's behavior, from the lonely despair to the sordid destructible of one's own as well as the lives of others. It's a dark somber look into the mind of the depressed, the misunderstood, the trotten as well as the perversed (possibly as a result of the former) in our actual society, who nowadays often live more online than inside real live. Frequently we see it in the news on TV, of teenagers' suicide packs, social media bullying, etc. and this flick packs it all into an interesting and even artistic, finally even tense story from which everybody might take a different conclusion. It was a huge positive surprise with great performances by some of those, then, young actors. 6 1/2 out of 10 points. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Yo why is everybody bashing this? I'm 30 min into it and I love it! So creative and like wtf are these people talking about saying it's not interesting? It's extremely unique and I'm living for this arthouse! What you mean? Aaron Taylor Johnson and Daniel Kaluuya can act their way out of a paper bag and make it interesting! This is an interesting premise with great actors! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member A truly awful film. 0 plot, absolutely nothing to make you feel attached to the characters, nothing that keeps you interested in the story. Unbelievably dull, a few of my friends even left before the end of the film due to how bad it was. The acting itself was fine, but the film itself was so boring you couldnâ(TM)t help but feel like you had wasted your time sitting through it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member over ambitious hodgepodge Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
