Peggy J After 45 minutes I felt that okay I'm invested in this movie. I don't understand where the daughter went and I didn't understand the husband with the other woman and then I had to read the synopsis in order to understand what happened so I guess the other woman was really her correct? And there was no daughter it was all a dream when she got shot I don't know too complicated I was pissed at the ending all that mellow Dramatics and that's the ending seriously I literally wasted all those hours watching it I would never recommend it Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/29/24 Full Review jelisije j A tragic yet heartfelt story which is mostly irrelevant with its third act. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review robert p I guess I liked this movie more than anybody, I am a fan of Uma Thurman from many movies, especially KILL BILL 1 & 2. I had figured out the twist long before the ending, even at the beginning I knew we were going to see the movie through the eyes of Uma Thurman who was dying why the title of the movie says it all. Three and 1/2 stars is what I give this film!!! Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review gene r I think this approach to story-telling is an ingenuous attempt to appear sophisticated. I look at it primarily as a story that betrays itself. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This has spoilers: I was so irritated to get to the damn ending that when it happened, and it had a meaningless twist, I was angered that I had wasted my time on this. This is one of the most drawn-out movies I've seen in years. So basically, adult Diana's guilt doesn't come from her choosing her friend to die but instead comes from...what? If indeed her character dies as a teenager and this is her imagined future during her dying moments, then why is the guilt played so heavily? It ends up being the proverbial red herring, as I anticipated that once she admitted her guilt in having her friend die instead of herself, she would finally be free, and that indeed would have been a profound scene. But instead we get... THIS. I'm more pissed at having watched a pretentious movie than a flat-out bad one. It gets one and a half stars for the performances, which were fine. The story? Zero stars. I'll forget it as soon as I stop typing. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is in my top 20. Maybe my top 10. It's different. It is fresh. Plus Uma Thurman is always amazing. There is a great twist here. There is heartfelt drama. The first day i saw this on DVD I must have re-watched it 3 times. I can't say enough good things about this film. The entire movie centers around a mass school shooting that is played out before your eyes in a hallway and bathroom where our protagonist and best friend are given a choice.
