At a tight 90 minutes, Stante, who wrote the script as well, keeps the narrative as spare as possible without sacrificing texture. Go to Full Review Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times 08/02/2019
For all its loaded potential to evolve into a gripping look at life in a correctional facility plus an atypical spin on gay longing, the film squanders much of its running time with thin, repetitive scenes of young men behaving badly.

Ty N 09/23/2023 Despite a crudely constructed screenplay that overreaches, the lead acting performances are good enough, and the story plays out to a logical ending. See more 04/12/2021 Good movie with great world building and characters. The ending was gruesome but very sudden, which made it a little unsatisfying. I liked the gritty realism present throughout the film, though, and there were some very powerful scenes. See more 04/11/2021 A very authentic and interesting movie that takes us into the world of a group of teenagers. The protagonist being gay was not the main focus of the movie, but it was almost a random fact at times, leaving me with questions. I would have appreciated some more depth into the contextual situation of the protagonist that influences his actions. Still, it intrigues me to find answers! See more 12/23/2020 CONSEQUENCES (2018, Amazon Prime) is a really fine, totally bleak drama about an unmanageable teenager who falls in with the worst crowd at a Slovenian youth detention centre. It premiered at TIFF and went on to win Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, the Audience Award and the Film Critics' Jury Award at the Slovenian Film Festival. The actual violence is tame, there are no murders, and the main physical attack happens off-screen. But watching it is emotionally brutal and even though our anti-hero survives, the film's ending leaves you gutted. My taste is extremely wide-ranging and while I sincerely recommend this for anyone who appreciates a wrenching slice-of-life, don't go looking for redemption. (It's as disturbing as the wonderful RATCATCHER (1999). See more 07/11/2020 Wow, interesting movie, very well done. The acting and writing was very good, although the subject matter wasn't something I'd normally be interested in watching. The movie seemed very real to me, and I'd recommend it to any adult. See more 07/08/2020 A true life type of film of what goes on behind closed doors and/or behind the scenes. People think they know but they have no idea. Must watch! See more Read all reviews
