@MilloTPue 06/16/2020 Between 2.5 and 3 stars. This story of an atypical relation could have been better, but it would need more depth. When you see the end, you feel it could have been much better. See more 09/09/2019 Dark and heavy. I didn't enjoy it at times, but it definitely kept my interest. (First and only viewing - 9/8/2019) See more flixster f 12/14/2015 Might have appreciated it better had I not gone in with the assumption that it's about the school shooting (and what leads to it; a la "Klass") instead of the after-effects. But still, the movie is quite flawed for what it is. Tries to make a social commentary which gets lost somewhere in all the melodrama. The actress playing Alicia wears too much make-up for what her character requires. Fails to generate the emotional effect it should have aimed for and ends up as a teen drama (almost leaning towards a chick flick) overall. To worsen it all, it's unnecessarily lengthy. That could have been avoided in the very least. If you're looking for A LESSON IN EVIL, this isn't the right one. Having said that all, it's not as bad as some movies I've recently watched. "Go figure" as Alicia might have said!! See more 09/03/2015 I have loved this movie since i was 14 and I first saw it. See more 04/28/2013 Takes some disturbing and turns it into a different creature. See more 04/05/2013 Following an episode of gun violence in a small town high school, outsider Alicia is practically forced to spend time and help a girl who survived the shooting while being investigated on the episode. The film also has heavy dramatic backdrops in the history of the individual characters. While it inevitably looks like the less stylised version of Gus van Sant's Elephant, and has a dull pace and a screenplay often filled with clichés, one cannot deny that it has its dramatic impact and also find the conversations between the two girls compelling and thought provoking.
